Emery Medical Solutions Deploys RamSoft PowerServer RIS/PACS to Meet Meaningful Use Objectives

(April 11, 2013 – Toronto, Ontario, Canada) Emery Medical Solutions, a diagnostic imaging center in Apopka, Florida, has been utilizing RamSoft’s PowerServer Lite since 2009 to manage their imaging management needs. As their workload grew so did their need for a fully paperless radiology workflow solution. Rather than selecting a solution from another vendor, Emery Medical Solutions opted to upgrade their existing RamSoft PowerServer Lite to RamSoft’s PowerServer RIS/PACS to expand their workflow needs and attest for meaningful use incentive programs.

According to Donald Emery, owner of Emery Medical Solutions, RamSoft’s radiology solutions has grown with their company to offer them the right combination of features at all stages of their growth. As a long-term customer of RamSoft, they appreciated the ability to incrementally upgrade their solution to meet their current workflow needs rather than selling them more than they required the time of our initial purchase.

“We opted to upgrade our existing RamSoft solution because it provides us with the necessary tools to meet our growing workflow needs in addition to a certified complete EHR so we may achieve meaningful use and qualify for incentive payments,” says Donald Emery.

“It is important for us to be able to provide our customers with solutions that meet current and future needs while helping with growth at every step of the way,” says Marilyn Solano, Sales and Marketing Director. “We build our solutions on a single database platform so they can be adapted quickly to customer and industry requirements, such as Meaningful Use. We want our customers to maximize the Meaningful Use incentives they may receive and not get left out.”

PowerServer RIS/PACS with Meaningful Use option is an intuitive and easy to use radiology workflow solution running on a single database platform that enables any healthcare facility to operate their imaging department efficiently. PowerServer RIS/PACS includes such tools as patient scheduling and demographics to diagnostic reporting and management reporting while capturing data specifically for eligible radiology practitioners to qualify for MU incentive programs. Its powerful workflow engine automates every aspect of the production environment, freeing up radiology professionals to focus on what they do best: providing better, faster patient care. The optional ONC-ATCB Certified Complete EHR is designed exclusively for PowerServer RIS/PACS to capture the necessary data to attest to Meaningful Use and qualify for grant monies.
