CoActiv Medical demonstrates EXAM-VAULT managed archiving services for orthopedic images at AAOS conference

“For orthopedists, image access is crucial. However, for most orthopedic practices, image volume clearly does not justify maintenance of an IT staff to ensure an archiving system is always available and running smoothly,” comments Ed Heere, president and CEO of CoActiv. “CoActiv’s innovative EXAM-VAULT^® cloud-based, vendor-neutral archiving solution removes the burden of maintenance from individual practices and lowers overall costs by allowing customers to benefit from an economy of scale for hardware, software and staff time. Images can be stored for just pennies an exam. For orthopedic practices, this truly is the sensible option.”

CoActiv’s EXAM-VAULT archiving solution offers the highest level of protection for crucial orthopedic information through its QUAD-REDUNDANT ARCHIVING^® system, which stores data in four separate locations. In addition to maintaining data online at the local facility, EXAM-VAULT automatically archives exams in geographically separated Tier-IV data centers with different power grids and Internet peering points to ensure availability when needed. Finally, exams are also stored on removable media in a secure vault.

The world’s fastest and most secure archiving system, CoActiv EXAM-VAULT provides instant exam retrieval along with HIPAA compliant and audited security. The system integrates seamlessly with both CoActiv EXAM-PACS^®-ORTHO and EXAM-ESSENTIALS^™-ORTHO as well as most other PACS, offering an affordable and highly scalable archiving solution for radiology departments and orthopedic practices of any size.

“As a managed service, CoActiv EXAM-VAULT shifts the burden of all archive system maintenance to our own internal IT experts,” says Heere. “With a commitment to ongoing upgrades to state-of-the-art technology, technology obsolescence becomes part of the past.”

Along with images, orthopedists may also store surgical plans, prescriptions and any scanned patient data directly and seamlessly in individual patient files when using a CoActiv orthopedic PACS solution.

“An orthopedist’s primary concern is the skeletal system—not just the management of x-ray CT and MRI exams. CoActiv understands this and provides an all-encompassing digital imaging solution that makes image management simple, cost-effective and worry-free,” says Heere.
