(Toronto, Ontario – March 26, 2010) One year ago, Radiology Associates of Richmond, Inc. in Richmond, VA, was struggling with the decentralization of their patient data. Their current system did not effectively transmit current and prior studies to the reading physician’s workstation making it impossible for the studies to get to the right location. There was no central location for reports or studies and the variances in the way different family practice technicians entered their patient data made record keeping difficult. They also needed to use DICOM information in order creation but their current workstations could not meet that requirement. That was when they Radiology Associated of Richmond reached out to RamSoft for a solution. They selected a RamSoft PowerServer PACS with a Gateway Router to resolve their decentralization issues and one year later, their process is still 100% digital.
The flexibility of PowerServer PACS meant Radiology Associates of Richmond was able to tailor their system to the needs of their workflow. They are now able to establish a set of routing rules to effortlessly route studies and priors to the reading physician. Patient data entered once meant improved efficiency of the family practice technicians and improved record keeping. Additionally, the DICOM header information used to create the order is passed to PowerScribe for voice recognition.
“In looking for a cost effective quality product that would solve our PACS challenges,” says Joseph K. Wyatt, IT&S Director of Radiology Associates of Richmond, “we looked at many vendors and products but RamSoft was the only one which solved all of our issues with a first rate product and excellent support along with the willingness to facilitate changes to make the workflow work for us.”
