AMICAS is introducing several new products at RSNA, all of which aredesigned to automate and document radiology processes and facilitate bettercommunications between healthcare providers and their patients, as well asbetween healthcare providers.
"We see tremendous opportunity to further automate the manual -- or broken-- processes in radiology today," said Rodney Hawkins, vice president ofproduct management at AMICAS. "For example, facilities make significantfinancial investments in RIS and PACS solutions, only to find theirradiologists and other personnel using sticky notes, faxes, and otherunreliable methods to communicate important clinical information such aspositive findings or new order requests. The lack of true automation for thesetypes of critical communications in traditional systems is astounding."
Examples of innovations that AMICAS is introducing to "close the loop" inradiology communications include:
"AMICAS solutions provide an outstanding infrastructure for servicing thecommunication and documentation needs of radiology practices and radiologydepartments," said Dr. Kahane. "We are keenly focused on bringing innovationthat truly matters to the market - innovation that will ultimately result inbetter patient care that is more cost effective."
