Dynamic Imaging continues Prime Healthcare deployment

Web-based diagnostic image and information management developer Dynamic Imaging said that Prime Healthcare Services has selected the Allendale, N.J.-based company’s IntegradWeb PACS for deployment in five hospitals that it currently owns and manages.

Prime Healthcare, a hospital management company in southern California, has recently gone live with IntegradWeb PACS at Montclair Hospital Medical Center in Montclair, Calif.; Huntington Beach Hospital in Huntington Beach, Calif.; La Palma Intercommunity Hospital in La Palma, Calif.; and West Anaheim Memorial Hospital in Anaheim, Calif.

The IntegradWeb PACS is interfaced with a Meditech hospital and radiology information systems (HIS/RIS) and electronic medical record (EMR) systems at the Prime Healthcare facilities.

Paradise Valley Hospital in National City,  Calif., is the fifth and most recent Prime Healthcare hospital to install IntegradWeb PACS, and is due to go live in December of this year, according to Dynamic Imaging.
