Renaissance Radiology chooses Aspyra’s AccessRAD RIS/PACS solution

Aspyra, Inc. (AMEX:APY) announced today that the Company has contracted with Renaissance Radiology Medical Group, Inc., a leading provider of outpatient diagnostic services throughout southern California, to provide Aspyra’s integrated AccessRAD RIS/PACS solution.

Headquartered in Pomona, California with twenty-four reading radiologists throughout the state – Renaissance Radiology performs approximately one million studies per year, providing a full array of advanced medical imaging technologies, including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), CT (Computed Tomography), Fluoroscopy, Digital Mammography, 3D and 4D Obstetrical Ultrasound and Bone Densitometry.

“Because we deal with a large volume of examinations from multiple locations everyday, it was important to us that we selected an integrated RIS/PACS vendor that was able to not only deliver the images to the radiologists consistently and seamlessly, but allow a level of customization that insured the right films were reaching the right radiologists and that they could be viewed according to the individual physician preferences,” stated Monika Kief-Garcia, CEO for Renaissance Radiology Medical Group. She continued, “The added ability to track and trend workflow from sites and referring physicians and facilitate billing was a dream come true to the office staff. Aspyra was able to demonstrate what no other vendor could.”

“Renaissance Radiology’s business model represents a trend in the imaging center industry,” stated Rodney Schutt, Aspyra’s CEO. He continued, “No longer is a radiologist reading for a single location. Instead they are required to read a higher volume of images from various locations. In addition, many centers have lost revenue because their legacy systems are unable to process the foreign studies, or manage the turnaround and distribution of clinical reports due to the increase in volume. Aspyra’s RIS/PACS will give Renaissance Radiology the functionality and peace of mind to advance their business forward.”

Aspyra’s PACS, Specialty PACS and RIS/PACS solutions are designed to meet the needs of acute care hospitals, enterprise-wide delivery networks, medium to large imaging centers, and orthopedic group practices, with end-to-end solutions that automate processes at every point of patient and imaging encounter workflow.
