“MEDITECH hospitals have embraced AMICAS’ approach to managing imaging workflow. We believe this is a direct result of our unique approach to serving the needs of these facilities,” said Paul Merrild, senior vice president of marketing and business development at AMICAS. “MEDITECH hospitals continue to invest in AMICAS because of our experience, technology, and value-added product offerings in the areas of critical results communication and simple, easy-to-use, well-differentiated referring physician tools.”
