AUSTIN, TX - Agfa HealthCare of Greenville, SC, is launching a brace of new PACS financing programs, including a pay-per-exam offering, at this week's Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) meeting.
Impax OnLine uses a pay-per-study subscription approach that transfers the financial responsibility for PACS ownership from the healthcare facility to Agfa, according to the company. Agfa assumes responsibility for all server and storage hardware and guarantees the PACS configuration. Images are stored on spinning disk for the life of the contract, with backup copies stored offsite for disaster recovery.
The second new financial offering, Pinnacle, updates a healthcare facility's current PACS technology, frees up capital dollars, and creates a predictable operational model for a site to update its hardware and software. Under the program, Agfa buys back an existing PACS and transitions the facility to the company's Impax 6.0 software.
The company also announced that it has won a contract to supply its RIS, PACS, and speech recognition reporting software to Open System Imaging, a multisite outpatient imaging group in California.
