SCIMAGE AWARDED NATIONWIDE GOVERNMENT CONTRACT FOR TELERADIOLOGY
Veteran's Health Administration to Use ScImage's Solution for Centralized
Teleradiology Project Serving more than 150 VHA Medical Centers Nationwide
Los Altos, CA - March 12, 2007 - ScImage, an award winning enterprise
imaging and information management company, based in Los Altos, California,
announced today that the Veteran's Health Administration (VHA) has awarded
ScImage the contract for the VHA's nationwide teleradiology program
serving more than 150 Veteran's Health Administration Medical Centers.
The ScImage solution will be deployed as a web layer on top of disparate
PACS at various facilities to route exams along with prior images and
reports based on dynamic business rules and will be used exclusively
in the VHA's Teleradiology Center to provide a virtual reading environment
for reading radiologists and/or radiology groups. Deploying the solution
in this manner will enable the VHA to surmount the shortage of qualified
staff in certain geographies and provide faster turnaround. The result
will be a more unified and consistent collaborative reading workflow
that VHA program directors can watch and manage very closely from anywhere.
At its core, PicomEnterprise boasts one database and a shared infrastructure
that simplifies workflow for multiple facilities. The solution features
several time saving and innovative clinical applications for TelePACS
over broadband infrastructure. "ScImage is proud to be a part of such
an important project. Providing the VHA with a unified approach to medical
image and information management will lead to improved clinical workflow,
patient care and a lower total cost of ownership," stated ScImage Founder
and CEO, Sai P. Raya, Ph.D.
Overall, ScImage will provide an extremely comprehensive solution that
is ideal for the VHA's objective of a centralized workflow model that
will enable them to have full 24x7 coverage across the United States.
ScImage's solution will be placed in VHA datacenters to provide a virtual
reading environment for radiologists from anywhere while administrators
can monitor reading progress, exam volumes and workflow efficiencies.
