2006 Frost & Sullivan Award for Entrepreneurial Company Award
Recipient: ScImage
Frost & Sullivan is pleased to recognize ScImage's unique and proactive
approach to the PACS market with the 2006 Entrepreneurial Company Award.
Since 1991, this Los Altos, CA company of fifty employees has continually
contributed innovations to the medical imaging field.
ScImage's solutions and services portfolio truly reflects the state of
the art in PACS. The explosion of imaging volumes and the impetus toward
storage consolidation and integration have increased interest and concern
surrounding PACS storage throughout the healthcare community. ScImage
was fast to respond to the market demand for reliable and affordable storage
services. ScImage has been successful in its role as a storage service
provider, offering complete storage solutions to healthcare institutions.
The company was also prompt in sensing the rising need for disaster recovery
planning services and successfully fills this niche as well. In fact,
ScImage's world-class data center has rapidly grown to manage over a million
studies a year.
In addition to its activity in the PACS storage market, ScImage is rapidly
developing its presence in the PACS market, in cardiology as well as in
radiology. The culture of entrepreneurship at ScImage has led the company
to quickly adopt the innovative financing strategies that have encountered
widespread acceptance in the PACS market. ScImage can offer PICOMEnterprise
as a managed archive, as well as an application service provider. The
breadth of ScImage's portfolio resembles that of the larger multi-modality
vendors. It is impressive indeed what can be achieved with a company of
only fifty innovators.
ScImage has developed a strong a reputation as a respected enterprise
imaging company. With a strong background in cardiology, coupled with
extensive experience in radiology, ScImage is well positioned to envision
and propose a full-fledged enterprise imaging solution. Here again, ScImage
demonstrates that it is ahead of the curve in anticipating the future
of PACS at a time when the latest wave of consolidation in the PACS arena
has made it clear to everyone that cardiology PACS and radiology PACS
are touted for tighter integration. Accordingly, ScImage is always at
the forefront of industry efforts towards more integration and interoperability
and is naturally a recognized participant at the Integrating the Healthcare
Enterprise (IHE) Connect-a-thon.
Currently, ScImage's PACS solution spans the radiology, cardiology, and
orthopedics departments. The solution offers a complete portfolio of specialized
toolsets for the demanding clinicians of these image-intensive departments.
The toolsets leverage ScImage's long track of innovation in the design
of clinical applications for cardiology. These toolsets also illustrate
the importance of ScImage's long history with advanced visualization,
at a time when functionality is starting to go mainstream. The three distinct
front-end systems reveal the specificities of the workflow in each department.
Moreover, these systems use a unique database and share a common back-end
infrastructure that can easily be expanded to serve additional departments.
ScImage's PICOMEnterprise therefore illustrates an innovative concept,
whereby the back-end infrastructure is dissociated from the front-end
sub-systems, and maintains an open architecture that facilitates its expansion
within the enterprise. Pioneered by vendors like ScImage, this PACS design
is slowly but surely emerging as a best practice in PACS technology. Every
ScImage enterprise-wide PACS installation is therefore a living example
that demonstrates that it is not only feasible, but also beneficial, to
share resources among clinical departments while still meeting the needs
of specific workflows. This new paradigm in enterprise imaging is brought
forward at a time when the healthcare industry is struggling to manage
departmental silos of data storage and focusing on consolidating and integrating
diverse streams of patient data.
In keeping with to the entrepreneurial nature of the company, ScImage's
solution offers the ability to manage DICOM images along with a plethora
of non-DICOM objects. This feature is crucial for healthcare facilities,
as they contemplate the implementation of a comprehensive electronic medical
record (EMR). ScImage's solution therefore embraces a long-term storage
strategy for the enterprise. By unifying image management functionality
and integrating patient data, ScImage is proactively redefining PACS technology
as the imaging component of a greater healthcare IT ecosystem.
