(Booth 7128) Amicas of Boston will promote a variety of RIS and automated business support tools for radiology departments and practices.
Amicas RIS for ambulatory facilities offers scheduling, charge capture, and workflow capabilities, while RadStream is designed to reduce medical-legal risk by automating and documenting critical results communications. RadStream also automates the ranking of imaging exams based on a "most likely to interrupt" method, which has been shown to dramatically increase radiologist productivity, according to the company.
Amicas Dashboards is a Web-based business intelligence platform that provides access to customized, near-real-time, easy-to-read data for key performance metrics and indicators, including both clinical and operational factors.
Meanwhile, Amicas Reach helps radiology practices and departments work with referring physicians through new software that uses common e-mail and secure messaging to deliver images, reports, and information to any e-mail-enabled device via a secure Web-based portal. Amicas Reach also provides referring physicians with the ability to request orders for new studies via the new order entry module.
Amicas Financials offers Windows-based technology to automate the identification and management of claims denials and follow-up, and its revamped architecture facilitates more advanced revenue cycle management.
Finally, Amicas Documents is designed to streamline workflow, reduce expenses, increase full-time equivalent (FTE) productivity, increase collections, and facilitate compliance with the privacy and security guidelines mandated by HIPAA.
