CHICAGO, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AMICAS, Inc.
(Nasdaq: AMCS), a leader in radiology and medical image and information
management solutions, today announced AMICAS Office Solutions(TM) a suite of
ambulatory focused, Web-based RIS & PACS packages aimed at increasing the
efficiency and productivity of outpatient imaging centers and specialty
clinics. Based on acclaimed Vision Series RIS and PACS products, AMICAS Office
Solutions(TM) delivers all the features and benefits of both-packaged in a
simplified consolidated hardware platform. The package includes all required
professional services for the complete digital transformation and scales for
growth.
"AMICAS Office Solutions will provide tremendous value to imaging centers
and ambulatory clinics," said Rodney Hawkins, AMICAS' vice president of
product management. "Since it uses our acclaimed RIS & PACS products in a
single solution, customers will receive industry leading workflow benefits
resulting in improved productivity, reduced cost and better patient care."
AMICAS Office Solutions(TM) is available in two configurations:
AMICAS Office Solutions(TM) Express is a single server solution for
complete RIS workflow and filmless interpretation by Radiologists
utilizing Vision Series PACS(TM).
AMICAS Office Solutions(TM) Complete includes all the functionality of
Express and includes a full PACS Archive.
Both solutions use the comprehensive functionality of Vision Series(TM)
RIS & Vision Series(TM) PACS. AMICAS Office Solutions(TM) is fully Web-based
providing the ability to simplify the conversion process from analog workflow
and film based imaging to an automated digital environment. The system
includes scheduling, registration, patient tracking, DICOM modality worklist,
DICOM image acquisition, Web-based radiologist interpretation with 3D toolset,
reporting, DICOM image archive and capacity for image distribution to
referring physicians.
"Smaller imaging centers have all the same needs as larger facilities from
scheduling patients to softcopy image interpretation, to dictating and
distributing reports and archiving images," said Peter McClennen, president of
AMICAS. "We believe this to be the first completely Web-based RIS & PACS
solution available in a single server configuration."
AMICAS Office Solutions(TM) is designed to install faster, have less
complexity and be easier to support. It is fully scalable and can be expanded
as the imaging center business grows. Mr. Hawkins added, "As customers grow
their imaging business, adding new modalities, growing volume or new imaging
centers, the AMICAS system grows with them. By simply adding an additional
Windows(R) PC based server, the system expands in capacity." Additional
software modules include Vision Series(TM) Document Management, Vision
Series(TM) Financials and Electronic Data Interchange solutions and are
complemented by partner offerings of Computed Radiography, CD Burning,
Orthopedic Templating and many other solutions.
"We've seen continued growth of imaging centers in the US market. With
this suite of products we can now better offer our advanced IT solutions in a
simplified package and at a reduced cost to the customer," said Mr. McClennen.
"It's a win-win for both AMICAS and outpatient imaging customers."
