Los Altos, Calif. and Birmingham, Ala. - November 14, 2005 - ScImage, a leading enterprise imaging and information management company and Source Medical Solutions, a leading provider of outpatient information management solutions have announced a strategic partnership to provide an integrated RIS/PACS solution specifically designed for outpatient imaging centers.
Under the terms of the agreement, Source Medical's native Web-based radiology information system known as SourceRad will be extended to include ScImage's award-winning PicomEnterprise PACS functionality, including online archiving and disaster recovery services. The tightly integrated solution will provide imaging centers with an end-to-end managed work flow solution on an affordable basis with low upfront costs. The system will run on existing Windows-based PCs with Internet access, requiring little or no onsite IT personnel.
The addition of PACS functionality to SourceRad further increases the scope of services imaging centers will have access to in a single, integrated solution.
"The integration of ScImage's enterprise imaging engine will allow physicians to view images, orders and tech notes, and to dictate, edit, electronically sign and distribute medical reports - all from a single worklist. Imaging centers continue to struggle with justifying traditional PACS solutions due to their high upfront costs and onsite IT resource requirements. Our solution removes these roadblocks and provides an affordable, fully-managed solution that is ideal for the imaging center marketplace," stated Ralph Riccardi, Source Medical's executive vice president and chief operating officer.
"We are thrilled to be working with a leading provider of Web-based RIS services such as Source Medical. Market research shows that the imaging center market is in need of a comprehensive yet affordable RIS/PACS solution such as the one created by the collaboration of our two companies," stated Sai P. Raya, founder and CEO of ScImage.
