Cincinnati Children's, an international leader in improving child health,
serves the medical needs of infants, children, and adolescents with
family-centered care, innovative research, and outstanding teaching programs.
Cincinnati Children's was established in 1883 and is a full-service,
not-for-profit pediatric academic medical center servicing patients from more
than 48 countries and all 50 states.
"We are excited about taking our imaging services to the next level with
AMICAS," said Lane F. Donnelly MD, radiologist-in-chief, department of
radiology, at Cincinnati Children's. "We needed both cutting edge technology
and a partner that is dedicated to helping us realize our goals and
objectives. We have found both that technology and that partner in AMICAS."
Under the terms of the agreement, Cincinnati Children's will utilize new,
Web-based technology for integrated reading, productivity, and critical
results management initiatives. Included in the partnership are AMICAS
PACS(TM), AMICAS Reach (TM), and AMICAS RadStream(TM) solutions.
"AMICAS was able to provide a unique blend of technology and partnership
to meet our specific needs," said Dr. Donnelly. "With AMICAS, we are able to
replace our legacy PACS with a 100 percent Web-based solution that includes
RadStream for critical results management and productivity initiatives, a
state-of-the-art clinical toolset with the Halo Viewer in AMICAS PACS Version
6.0, and a unique ability to complement our forthcoming Epic Systems Radiant
RIS solution.
"The Epic-AMICAS partnership was an important differentiator for AMICAS
during our selection process. We are very impressed with what Epic and AMICAS
are doing to integrate their solutions to provide an excellent end-user
experience and streamlined workflow support," said Dr. Donnelly.
As a 100 percent Web-based solution, AMICAS PACS was designed to enable
radiologists to provide excellent patient care through powerful workflow
capabilities and clinical tools. RadStream was designed to reduce
medical-legal risk by automating and documenting critical results
communications. RadStream also automates the prioritization of imaging exams
based on a "most likely to interrupt" method, which has been shown to
dramatically increase radiologist productivity.
"We are excited about our new partnership with Cincinnati Children's, one
of the most respected healthcare providers in the world," said Stephen Kahane
MD, president, chief executive officer, and chairman of AMICAS. "Offering an
integrated reading, productivity, and critical results management platform
within their existing infrastructure will offer powerful benefits throughout
the enterprise."
