RIS Concepts expands offering into Latin America

RIS Concepts has expanded into Latin America, offering Spanish language RIS and PACS solutions to meet the needs of radiology practices of all sizes. 

The new division will kick off its efforts with local partnering healthcare IT company Tele Coqui at the American College of Radiology (ACR) Puerto Rico Chapter Tradeshow and Conference in San Juan this week.

The expansion was fueled by requests from resellers and OEMs in Latin American markets for affordable and scalable Spanish language RIS and PACS solutions, backed by strong local service and support, according to the Miami-based RIS Concepts.
