BLESSING HOSPITAL TO INTEGRATE SCIMAGE’S ENTERPRISE PACS WITH CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM
Los Altos, CA and Quincy, IL – June 02, 2004 — ScImage, a leading provider of image and information management and distribution solutions and medical imaging workstations based in Los Altos, California, announced today that Blessing Hospital (Quincy, IL) has purchased ScImage’s Enterprise PACS offering, PICOMEnterprise and intends to integrate it with their Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Information System. PICOMEnterprise will deliver data from Cardiology Imaging Services, Radiology Imaging Services, and EKG Management to the Sunrise product. PICOMEnterprise will also be used to provide telemedicine capabilities to designated members of the facility.
In addition to the integration with the Eclipsys product, PICOMEnterprise will also capture, store and distribute data from the hospital’s existing PACS solution in order to provide a complete solution for image acquisition, diagnostic review, short-term storage, reporting and web based distribution utilizing a single application platform. “We are pleased that Blessing Hospital has selected ScImage’s Enterprise PACS solution to tie together data coming from multiple departments,” stated Sai P. Raya, Founder and CEO of ScImage. “We believe that Blessing Hospital’s digital initiative will improve overall patient care and are looking forward to working closely with them to assist in their medical imaging workflow goals.”
“We selected ScImage because they were able to meet our needs for integration,” states Stacey McGrath, Blessing’s IS Supervisor, Systems and Integration. “Given the nature of clinical workflow in our facility today and knowing where we need to be tomorrow, we knew we needed a product that could seamlessly integrate with our current digital tools quickly and easily. Workflow integration is the key to a successful digital initiative. ScImage’s experience with integration made the decision easy.”
“We needed a system that would fit with our overall goals for workflow,” states Candy Tretter, Director of Radiology at Blessing Hospital. “ScImage understood where we needed to go with our digital initiative. By utilizing our existing infrastructure we can focus on improving our workflow instead of learning new software.”
