"Siemens understood the importance of integrating imaging and IT workflow early on, embarking upon a trendsetting strategy," said Tom Miller, president, healthcare IT Division, Siemens Medical Solutions. "With the syngo Suite and Soarian we are driving the future of healthcare by helping to advance accurate, quick diagnoses and early disease detection."

syngo and Soarian: Partners for End-to-End Workflow
Through syngo, all imaging workflow, from scheduling to viewing and reporting, is role-based and available at the referring physician and radiologist's fingertips. Working across all modalities and offering advanced RIS, PACS, and post-processing in a comprehensive package, the syngo Suite includes:

-syngo Imaging - Siemens' Radiology PACS, which is scalable to meet the image volume needs of large academic medical settings to smaller diagnostic imaging centers. The solution features specialized workplaces; Smart Select, a patented navigational tool; dynamic loading and intelligent layout enhancements to speed image reading; tight integration of all components; and advanced post-processing functions.
* syngo Workflow - Drives the complete radiological workflow from order entry to image and report distribution. More efficient radiological diagnoses and interpretation are supported via new integrated referring physician and radiologist portals* that combine the traditional information located in a HIS, RIS and PACS into a single user interface and workspace.
* syngo Dynamics** - A multi-modality, dynamic image review, diagnosis and archiving system, enabling evidence-based reporting to help improve the efficiency of clinical procedures for cardiology, general imaging and OB/GYN. The solution is scalable for imaging clinics, hospitals and multi-facility health enterprises and features optional interfacing to clinical or hospital information systems.

With HIS, RIS, PACS and post-processing on a single unit, integrated workflow with syngo and Soarian:
* Optimizes decision making for physicians by providing seamless transition between diagnostic images and the patient record with a simple mouse click.
Provides access to patient histories, results, images, medications and lab data via a single workstation, helping to support safe and efficient care and more accurate diagnosis.
* Enables physicians to verify the appropriateness of tests with more complete information.
* Helps improve financial outcomes through more efficient standardized tools to control cases, identify irregularities, and generate accurate claims.
