AMICAS Announces General Availability of Next Generation Vision Series PACS Platform

by David Blumenthal, Sales Director
Boston, MA -- AMICAS, Inc. a leader in radiology and medical image and information management solutions, has released Vision Series PACS Version 4.2, a release representing significant advancements to its proven image management software platform. Vision Series PACS Version 4.2 was formally released on August 30th, 2006 following a successful deployment at Newman Regional Hospital in Emporia, Kansas.

Vision Series PACS Version 4.2 was designed with three fundamental goals in mind: The first goal was to implement nearly two hundred feature requests and enhancements from existing AMICAS customers. The second goal was to advance the already robust clinical workflow communication capabilities native in the exclusive AMICAS RealTime WorklistTM. The third goal was to introduce an architecture with highly robust archiving and disaster recovery capabilities.

"We approached AMICAS with a feature request that would help improve our multi-site, distributed reading workflow," said Anthony C. Toppins, M.D, Musculoskeletal Radiologist and CIO, of American Radiology Associates. "AMICAS listened to our needs and designed a solution in version 4.2 of Vision Series PACS that I expect will dramatically improve the efficiency of our complex imaging operations. It is rare to have a vendor that values your partnership enough to actually use your feedback in the prioritization of product features and subsequently deliver a robust solution." American Radiology Associates is a 53 person multi-subspecialized private and teaching practice serving more than 47 hospitals, imaging centers and office locations. The practice consists of over 50 radiologists specializing in Body Imaging, Neuroradiology, Musculoskeletal, Interventional Radiology, Breast Imaging and Nuclear/PET and provides advanced image interpretation services on a global basis using AMICAS Vision Series PACS.

AMICAS is intensely focused on ensuring and growing customer success. This broad commitment is evident in the growth of service capabilities over the last year including the introduction of Net Promoter Score management concepts and the introduction of features and functionality that come directly from AMICAS customer input. Vision Series PACS Version 4.2 further reinforces this commitment by including nearly 200 feature requests and enhancements from the company's customer base.

This customer-focused phenomenon was one of the leading reasons that AMICAS was recently awarded the 2006 North American Medical Imaging Customer Product Value of the Year Award by Frost & Sullivan. "AMICAS truly pays attention to its customers' needs and has developed an unsurpassed culture of innovation," said Nadim Daher, research analyst with Frost & Sullivan. "AMICAS demonstrates the most rapid turnaround time between the customer expressing a particular need or desire and incorporating the idea into the AMICAS solution set. This continuous well-oiled cycle allows the company to maintain its position at the cutting-edge of technology at all times and to take full advantage of the flexibility and nimbleness that characterizes focused, mid-size companies. Most importantly, it keeps AMICAS' customers satisfied, places them in a more active role, and ultimately makes their strategic vision a reality."
