ComMedica unveils I-PACS

Web-based clinical IT software vendor ComMedica has released its next-generation link between medical imaging and RIS. The software package, called Integrated PACS application (I-PACS), is designed to manage the entire process of patient care, from booking appointments to delivery of diagnosis, within a single Web-based, open standards architecture. The company is now preparing to install the system in the U.K. for Global Diagnostics, a mobile imaging service. The goal is to allow patients to be referred for scans immediately, thereby alleviating some of the burden on the U.K. National Health Services. Specialists will also view images at an earlier stage, potentially leading to faster diagnosis and consequent treatment.
