Aspyra

Aspyra (Booth 6610) is demonstrating the latest release of AccessRAD 6.4, its RIS/PACS product, and an All-in-One PACS and RIS/PACS offering.

Aspyra’s AccessRAD RIS/PACS is designed to meet the needs of acute-care hospitals, enterprise-wide delivery networks, and medium to large imaging centers, with end-to-end solutions that automate processes at every point of patient and imaging encounter workflow.

The new release includes enhanced productivity tools including a department management dashboard, outpatient appointment confirmation and pre-authorization verification worklists.

AccessRAD RIS/PACS release 6.4 also includes an order creation feature initiated from the PACS when incoming diagnostic interpretation studies are received from outside referring facilities. These orders are automatically processed by the RIS, thereby optimizing workflow, as well as increasing revenue by preventing lost charges due to missing or incorrect orders.

Aspyra’s All-in-One PACS and All-in-One RIS/PACS are all-inclusive packages that include the company’s complete PACS or RIS/PACS software application, server, web server, primary on-line RAID archive storage, secondary DVD archive storage (enabling HIPAA compliant off-site storage backup), system backup DVDs and patient CD creator.
