“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.”
