Virtual Radiologic Completes Deployment of vRad® PACS
December 17 2009 - 9:05AM
Business Wire
Virtual Radiologic Corporation (NASDAQ:VRAD), a leading global
provider of teleradiology services and technology solutions, has
completed the deployment of vRad® PACS, its proprietary picture
communications and archiving system for radiologic case processing.
Replacing previously used commercial software, vRad PACS is now
being used by all of the Company’s 140 affiliated radiologists to
perform clinical interpretations on radiologic cases transmitted in
real-time from over 7,400 different image sending devices located
at more than 1,150 medical facilities across the United States.
“vRad PACS was specifically engineered for our
technology-enabled radiology practice,” said Rick Jennings, chief
technology officer of Virtual Radiologic. “We utilized key design
insight from our affiliated radiologists and combined it with
highly secure, scalable and performance-oriented Internet
technologies to develop vRad PACS. Further, we used the more than
700,000 studies processed in vRad PACS over the last few months to
continuously optimize the software. The result is a more efficient
technology platform for our current clinical and business
processes, and also highly agile for future needs.”
Because vRad PACS is Internet-based, Virtual Radiologic was able
to deploy the software system in real-time with no service
interruptions into one of the highest volume practices in the
United States (more than 2.6 million interpretations annually).
Virtual Radiologic will be including vRad PACS technology in an
upcoming release of the Company’s software as a service technology
offering, vRad® Enterprise Connect. A direct extension of Virtual
Radiologic’s market-leading proprietary teleradiology technology
platform, vRad Enterprise Connect helps radiology practices grow
their own business and better serve hospitals by connecting
existing but disparate RIS/PACS without additional infrastructure
investment.
vRad PACS and vRad Enterprise Connect are both examples of the
Company’s progressive use of technology to improve productivity and
provide clients with industry-leading products and services.
Virtual Radiologic was recently ranked top teleradiology services
provider for the second consecutive year by KLAS, a leading
independent research firm focused on the health care industry, in
its 2009 Top 20 Best in KLAS Awards: Software & Professional
Service.
