PACS and RIS developer IDX Systems has signed three deals to provide products and services to healthcare groups throughout the U.S. First, the Burlington, VT-based firm has contracted with Seton Healthcare Network, a regional integrated delivery network based in Austin, TX, that conducts 400,000 radiology exams each year. The deal includes the licensing of the company’s RIS, IDXrad, and IDX Imaging Suite for modality and PACS integration.
The company has also signed a deal with Lebanon, NH-based Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) to implement its single-database vnetix RIS-PACS solution throughout the DHMC campus. DHMC is the only academic medical center in New Hampshire, and performs more than 175,000 radiology procedures annually. The campus includes a 400-bed hospital, the Dartmouth Medical School, Norris Cotton Cancer Center, the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth, and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic, a multispecialty academic group practice.
Finally, IDX has signed on to provide radiology information management for Columbus, OH-based OhioHealth at three central Ohio hospitals and 13 outpatient facilities that conduct more than 600,000 radiology exams per year. Currently, the Columbus-area outpatient facilities and the three hospitals -- Doctors Hospital West, Grant Medical Center, and Riverside Methodist Hospital -- have their own RIS products that function separately.
IDX will be installing its Web-based IDXrad RIS at the hospitals and outpatient facilities. The product’s capabilities include registration, master patient indexing, multiorganizational exam scheduling, patient tracking, diagnostic reporting, administration and billing, and image library management, according to the company.
