"The practice of radiology has never been more challenging than it is
today," said Peter McClennen, president and COO of AMICAS. "Radiologists
and radiology departments are facing unprecedented exam complexity as a
result of advances in imaging science and tremendous growth in exam volume
due to increased utilization. These challenges, when coupled with continued
reductions in reimbursement, make for a challenging time in radiology. We
are excited to share our solutions that are designed to help grow, run, and
optimize radiology operations in the face of these challenges."
AMICAS will highlight seven innovative offerings at SIIM:
-- Vision Series(TM) PACS is an industry leading Web-based PACS that
represents years of customer feedback matched with one of the
industry's most innovative engineering teams. Vision Series PACS is
designed to deliver unmatched functionality and productivity to
radiologists, radiology staff, IT support staff, and referring
physicians.
-- RadStream(TM) is a next generation software product designed to
optimize radiology workflow. Above and beyond the significant benefits
of PACS, RadStream is designed to further reduce interruptions by
nearly 25 percent and further improve report turnaround time by 40
percent.
-- Vision Reach(TM) was designed specifically to address the unmet needs
of the referring physician. Using the latest Web-based technologies,
Vision Reach integrates the radiology report with key images and
creates a single "multi-media" report for referring physicians. This
report does not require the installation of any software, which is
expected to improve adoption by referring physicians and should drive
imaging volume.
-- Vision Series RIS, which utilizes a modern Web-based architecture,
provides attractive benefits to ambulatory care practices, imaging
centers, and radiology group practices. This intuitive, robust solution,
which has been well received by customers and prospects alike, supports
a new level of productivity and workflow management.
-- Vision Series Financials is a next generation radiology practice
management and billing software system designed to meet the challenges
of today's complex radiology billing environment. This modern practice
management platform is tightly integrated with other AMICAS revenue
cycle management modules, including Insight Dashboards, Insight
Services, and Vision Series Document Management.
-- Insight Dashboards(TM) is a Web-based business intelligence platform
that provides access to customized, easy-to-read graphical data for key
performance metrics and indicators. AMICAS customers can leverage the
dashboard presentation of their operations to clearly view and
understand their imaging business.
-- Vision Series Document Management is a comprehensive "paperless office"
solution designed to streamline workflow, reduce expenses, and
facilitate compliance with the privacy and security guidelines mandated
by HIPAA. Vision Series Document Management stores and manages every
document electronically, and provides a rapid link to RIS, PACS, and
billing systems.
"SIIM presents a tremendous opportunity for AMICAS to highlight the
breadth of products and services we offer and the depth of innovation we
are introducing to the market," said Peter McClennen, president and COO of
AMICAS. "We believe that AMICAS' focus on solving real-world customer
problems - combined with our passion for helping our customers grow, run,
and optimize their businesses - differentiates AMICAS in the radiology IT
marketplace."
