Case Studies

Facing reimbursement cuts in 2007, Regional Medical Imaging (RMI) would have to be nimble. In order to survive and thrive, RMI chose a single-vendor relationship with AMICAS that would increase productivity throughout the entire network.

Wilson Memorial Hospital had been an early adopter of PACS — in fact, they’d been using PACS for nine years when they decided to shop around for a new vendor in 2007. Here’s what mattered most to them during the selection process: functionality, the ability to distribute images with ease, and providing excellent service to physicians and patients.

It was January 2007. San Diego Imaging (SDI) was facing the challenge of opening a new imaging center in a highly competitive and largely managed care environment. In order to attract and retain nearby physician practices, they had to offer a service differentiator — something that wouldmake them stand out from their competitors.

In 2003, St. Mary’s Hospital implemented AMICAS PACS as a complement to their existing MEDITECH™ hospital information system. Since implementation, St. Mary’s has developed a true partnership with AMICAS, which continues to innovate to address the challenges St. Mary’s — and other MEDITECH hospitals — face on a daily basis.

American Radiology Associates (ARA) is focused on providing the best subspecialty reads in radiology. Given its more than 50 radiologists’ highly respected subspecialty expertise, ARA saw an opportunity to turn their scale and unique skill set into a growth engine for their business — but they could only do that by providing their radiologists with the ability to read anywhere, at any time.
