Integrated PACS, Reporting, and Distribution Workflow Tool Provides Final Reports in Minutes

A new integrated picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) solution provides a consolidated worklist that orchestrates the workflow for both image viewing and reporting.

UltraRAD Corp. (West Berlin, NJ, USA) and StructuRad, LLC (Encino, CA, USA) reported that their integrated PACS reporting and distribution solution is now in production at Valor Network, Inc. The advanced PACS workflow and reporting solution provides complete image management and reporting based on StructuRad's StudyManager and ReportNow, and UltraRAD's UltraWeb and UltraGateway.

Valor Network uses the combined solution in their teleradiology operation supporting remote federal hospital facilities. Using a combination of speech recognition and structured macros, reports are created immediately, electronically signed and automatically sent back to the originating site. Most of this work is completed off-hours using the automated image viewing, reporting, and distribution features.

Valor Network provides high-quality medical care to federal health facilities by integrating scalable technology with medical expertise. "Every hospital has different needs and we work with UltraRad and StructuRad to establish a protocol that exceeds their requirements," said Scott Rutter, president of Valor Network.

"Combining with our partner StructuRad, we are pleased to offer growing organizations, like Valor Network, a full-featured PACS, efficient workflow, and structured reporting that save clients time and money," said John Bis, vice president of marketing and sales for UltraRAD Corp. "Together, we are committed to offering robust, flexible imaging, radiology reporting and workflow solutions with approachable pricing for all practice sizes."
