Vision Reach 2.0 includes a Web-based radiology order entry capability,
which enables referring physicians and their staff to order exams online
directly from completed reports or from the Vision Reach portal -- in
addition to receiving instantaneous secure notification when radiology
reports are available.
This functionality builds on Vision Reach's unique zero client
architecture -- which means no software to download and no plug-ins to
worry about -- and its ability to integrate the radiology report with key
images and create a single "multi-media" report for referring physicians.
Vision Reach also includes a personalized referring portal for physicians
and their staff of all current and historical exams.
"Vision Reach has been incredibly powerful, yet easy to maintain," said
Lisa Botbyl, who is responsible for maintaining relationships with
referring physicians at San Diego Imaging in San Diego, CA. "Users find the
software intuitive and simple to use -- so much so that providers are
logging in to Vision Reach on their laptops and discussing results with
patients right in the exam room."
Delivering a premium level of service to referring physicians, Vision
Reach can help AMICAS customers to grow their relationships and businesses.
Vision Reach uses common e-mail and secure messaging to proactively deliver
images, reports, and information to any portable e-mail-enabled device. The
zero install client Web-based application eliminates installation and any
client-level application requirements.
"We believe that Vision Reach is a one-of-a-kind application in the
radiology industry," said Paul Merrild, vice president of marketing at
AMICAS. "Extending the existing advantages of Vision Reach to include
online ordering was a natural next step in the evolution of Vision Reach --
and serves as a direct response to workflow and service challenges
experienced in the radiology suite and beyond."
Vision Reach is available as a standalone referring physician product
or in combination with the AMICAS Vision Series(TM) suite of products,
including RIS, PACS, and Financials.
AMICAS offers a top-flight image management platform for hospitals and
an integrated RIS, PACS, document management, and revenue cycle management
solution for ambulatory imaging businesses.
