A cost-efficient radiology information systems/ picture archiving and communications system (RIS/PACS) provides turnkey installation and excellent system performance.

Aycan (Rochester, NY, USA), a developer of medical imaging products, in conjunction with its business partner, medQ (Dallas, TX, USA), a developer of RIS, reported on the availability of aycan workflow, a fully integrated RIS/ PACS that provides a turnkey end-to-end digital imaging and patient management system.

The system comprises aycan’s PACS and medQ’s RIS enterprise technology. The integrated components work in together eliminating the need and issues associated with a multivendor solution. The solution is suitable for imaging centers and small hospitals that need to rapidly and cost efficiently deliver radiology imaging services to their customers.

“The fully integrated aycan workflow system allows customers to work with just one point of contact for turnkey installation and ongoing support,” said Frank Burkhardt, aycan director, North and Latin American operations. “The joint solution supports the growing demand for an efficient, integrated workflow while lowering costs,” added Mr. Burkhardt.

Other key productivity benefits of the system include: a RIS-driven workflow with full order entry and work lists for front office staff and technologists; easily accessible complete patient histories; seamless linking from the reading work list to the viewer; local cache preloading of image data on the workstation for quick access without network latency; report dictation options definable by the user (voice recognition or transcription based); report macros with manual and automatic pre-population options; fully automated report distribution options (fax, secure email, HL [Health Level]7, and Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine [DICOM] PDF).

“We are very excited about this new partnership which brings to the market a fully featured and integrated RIS/PACS. A combination of two leading providers which will offer our customers a true one-stop, turnkey solution,” said John Norman, CEO of MedQ.

As part of the solution, aycan also offers live customer service and support. With a focus on vendor neutral integration and service, aycan is a worldwide provider of solutions for viewing, printing, sharing, and storing medical images and information that improve workflow efficiency and drive down costs.

medQ, Inc., provides radiology information technology (IT), workflow management and service solutions that enable healthcare providers to deliver quality, cost-effective patient care.
