At West Coast Radiology Centers, our new picture archiving and communications system (PACS) continues to
change the state of radiology in
Orange County, making your life easier for referrers, allowing you to care for patients more quickly and effectively:
• State-of-the-art, HIPAA-compliant PACS system – Our imaging modalities provide images digitally, eliminating the need for film ... and the accompanying delays.
• Instant transfer of images – Digital images can be instantly transferred to our radiologists’ work queue.
• Fast turnaround – Results are interpreted quickly, because they can be processed faster, are easily manipulated for thorough evaluation and can be read at any time from any one of our workstations, including those off-site.
• A new standard in radiology efficiency – In addition to digital images, our entire PACS system is completely digital. Scheduling. Patient records. Referrals. Patient-history forms. Instructions. Exam protocols. Dictation. Insurance. Billing. As a result, everything we do is on time, efficient and free from the mishaps that go hand in hand with traditional paper systems.
• We handle everything for you –When patients come in, their referral, insurance information, records are here. Their scans are conducted on time; their images are automatically merged with the patient data. During interpretation, all information is in front of the radiologist, who can scroll through every image and who dictates directly to the digital file. Reports are transcribed quickly, signed digitally and faxed automatically or output as paper for delivery.
• Anytime, anywhere access to exam results –Your leading-edge efficiencies mean you receive exam results in 24 hours or less. One of the primary benefits of PACS is that you can access results anytime, anywhere securely via computer; you can access radiology reports as soon as they're completed. If you need to discuss findings with the radiologist, PACS makes it easy for you both to view the images simultaneously.
