Intelerad wins NCH Healthcare System contract

Intelerad Medical Systems has signed an agreement with NCH Healthcare System and Naples Diagnostic Imaging Centers (NDIC) of Naples, Fla., to install IntelePACS in both companies.

“IntelePACS was created in a multi-site, teaching hospital setting and its strong data migration and integration capabilities are ideally suited to large, hospital-based enterprise solutions,” said Robert Hoffman, vice president of U.S. sales at Intelerad. He explained, “In addition to proactive PACS support and broad work list functionality, IntelePACS will provide NCH/NDIC with critical impression reporting to better link ER with radiology.”

NCH Healthcare System, a two-hospital, 681-bed facility, is an alliance of more than 500 independent physicians and medical facilities offering progressive and comprehensive healthcare in Collier County and Southwest Florida.
