Wisconsin radiology group selects RIS Concepts RAD-RIS

Capital Radiology in Sheridan, Wis., has selected RIS Concepts’ RAD-RIS to improve exam management for its freestanding imaging center and teleradiology practice. 

“RIS Concepts allowed us to replace several software products and manual processes for dictation and transcription,” explains Roxanne Trevola, administrative manager for Capital Radiology.  “In addition to enhanced report turnaround time, the application will provide online exam ordering for our teleradiology clients.  The built-in dictation and transcription module can automatically fax reports to both clients and their referring physicians.”

The Miami-based RIS Concepts said that the new automation and web-based architecture will support additional growth because the group will be able to work efficiently with additional offsite radiologists to support an expanded exam volume.
