The three year agreement will provide Amerinet’s members with access to the complete AMICAS product portfolio including RIS, PACS and Radiology Financials software plus comprehensive implementation services and support. AMICAS is kicking off the new relationship by attending and demonstrating at Amerinet’s Central Region Annual Member Conference from August 6th through August 9th in Pittsburgh. Barry Gutwillig, AMICAS vice president of strategic initiatives & partnerships, said, “AMICAS is excited about the opportunities afforded by the Amerinet partnership. We are kicking off the first phase of our marketing campaign to Amerinet facilities by joining the Central Region organization in Pittsburgh. We anticipate this being the first of many opportunities to work with Amerinet at both the national and local level.”
“We are very pleased to be a chosen vendor to the hospitals and ambulatory facilities affiliated with Amerinet,” said Peter McClennen, president of AMICAS. “We believe having AMICAS products and services available within the vast Amerinet member system will provide us a tremendous opportunity to market and grow our installed base of customers. Amerinet makes a great partner for AMICAS as they have both ambulatory and acute members thus taking full advantage of our product lines for both hospitals and imaging centers.”
As a result of its earlier acquisitions and the experience of many of its employees, AMICAS has been an innovator in radiology services for over 25 years. In developing some of the first radiology financial billing software packages in the late 70’s to leadership in outpatient radiology workflow with market leading web based RIS products to developing the first FDA approved Web Based PACS in the 90’s, the core of AMICAS is innovation. The entire AMICAS Vision Series of products including Vision Reach, Vision Watch and now RadStream will be on display at trade shows throughout the year culminating at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting in Chicago November 26th through December 1st, 2006.
