Intelerad® Medical Systems, a leader in medical imaging PACS and workflow solutions, today announced that Naples Diagnostic Imaging Centers will be replacing its current mammography workstations with the IntelePACS® Breast Imaging digital mammography solution.
“With the addition of IntelePACS Breast Imaging, NCH will now be completely paperless for all its medical imaging radiology services”
Florida-based Naples Diagnostic Imaging Center is part of the NCH Healthcare System; an alliance of more than 500 independent physicians and medical facilities. It includes a two-hospital, 681-bed system, providing personalized care to over thirty-thousand patients every year.
With its enterprise-wide licensing model, IntelePACS Breast Imaging eliminates the need for hospitals to manage costly dedicated workstations and provides a secure access to multi-modality images, including priors, from any location - within the facilities or remotely. Also, hospitals and radiologists enjoy significant productivity gains by using Intelerad IntelePACS's universal reading and reporting interface for all studies, including breast imaging.
"Radiology and imaging is central to all that takes place at NCH hospitals and NDIC, we know how important managing the PACS workflow is to the overall operation," said Jim Bates, Director of Radiology of NCH Healthcare System. "We immediately saw the benefits of working from a single PACS worklist, being able to access images and priors from different types of modalities for both screening and diagnostic workflows. The other significant advantage of IntelePACS is that you can manage workload balancing between your radiologists, ensuring faster turnaround on diagnoses of patients and delivering a better service to our referring physicians."
NCH deployed Intelerad IntelePACS in 2008 and they immediately experienced increased productivity and cost savings. "With the addition of IntelePACS Breast Imaging, NCH will now be completely paperless for all its medical imaging radiology services," said Chris Henri, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Intelerad Medical Systems. "We truly appreciate working with NCH, and we are confident that IntelePACS will allow NCH to deliver superior care to the communities it serves through its Women's Health program in Florida."
