Healthcare informatics developer IDX Systems reported revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 of $108 million, compared with $93 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. Sales for the 12-month period (end-December 31) were $400 million, up 15% compared with revenues of $348 million for the same period in 2002.
The Burlington, VT-based vendor swung into the black for the fourth quarter with a net profit of $12.2 million, compared with a net loss of $1.1 million in the same period last year. For the fiscal year, IDX reported net income of $58.4 million, compared with income of $10 million for fiscal 2002.
The firm raised its guidance for fiscal 2004 to $500 million - $525 million, which includes start-up costs associated with a deal between IDX and the U.K. National Health Service (NHS). Previous guidance predicted revenues of $455 million - $460 million and excluded any contract awards relating to the NHS project, the company said.
In other IDX news, the developer reported a clutch of contracts landed in its fourth quarter. Southwestern Vermont Medical Center of Bennington, VT, has purchased the firm’s integrated RIS/PACS, Imagecast . The hospital is a 99-bed community facility that serves approximately 4,700 inpatient visits and 146,000 outpatient visits annually.

Webb Memorial Hospital, as well as for a new imaging center scheduled for completion this year, IDX said.
Imagecast RIS/PACS and Groupcast practice management installations are scheduled for implementation at Radiology and Imaging Specialist of Lakeland, FL. The radiologist-owned group has four digital imaging centers conducting 400,000 exams annually, and plans to open more facilities in the next three years, according to IDX.
