Western Media Begins Testing of PACS and Launches MedLink Access
ISLANDIA, N.Y., March 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Western Media Group
Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: WMGC) today announced that it has
successfully installed and initiated testing of its Digital
Radiology software at New Island Hospital in Bethpage, New York
through it's wholly-owned subsidiary MedLink VPN, Inc. New Island
Hospital radiologists will use the MedLinkVPN's Web-based PACS to
distribute, archive and retrieve approximately 45,000 of the more
than 60,000 medical studies it generates within the facility each
year. MedLinkVPN's Web-based PACS technology allows for more
efficient access to patients' current and prior studies on a secure
HIPAA compliant network. In addition, radiologists and referring
physicians will be able to securely access and diagnose patient
images from inside or outside the hospital through the MedLinkVPN.
New Island Hospital currently relies on printed film for the
primary interpretation of diagnostic imaging cases as well as the
distribution of results and reports to the ordering physicians,
on-site or off-site. Once the MedLinkVPN PACS has been implemented,
New Island will have a real-time enterprise-wide digital imaging
workflow system for diagnosis and information access. In addition
Western Media also announced that it has completed the development
of MedLink Access. MedLink Access is a unified messaging
application which allows our clients to efficiently manage how and
where they are communicated with. This application will be
introduced to all physicians which will be utilizing the
MedlinkVPN. About Western Media Group Corporation Western Media
