clinical systems and innovations that seek to transform healthcare,
today announced that Imaging Specialists of Charleston and
Charleston Radiologists, P.A. has selected Merge Healthcare's
entire Merge Outpatient Radiology Suite as well as Merge Honeycomb™

"Because our organization is committed to providing the highest
level of patient care and the latest technology available in our
field, we've recently made the decision to align ourselves with a
partner who can help to enable our ambitious plans for growth with
leading technology," explained Michael Garovich, MD, President of
Charleston Radiologists.
"Our current technology required a massive upgrade, our volume
had exceeded the capabilities and capacity of the RIS, and, in
light of declining reimbursement and other pressures, we needed a
integrated solution to create efficiencies," said Dr. Garovich. "We
will also be utilizing Merge Honeycomb Archive for cost-effective,
long-term storage of the second copy of all of our patient
images."
"Additionally, we will be well-positioned to achieve Meaningful
Use in the future while at the same time improving our current
billing process and increasing accuracy and transparency for our
patients," added Vicki Richter, Imaging Center Manager.
"With imaging centers like Imaging Specialists of Charleston
under mounting pressure to deal with increasingly competitive
markets, changing reimbursement models and long claim-payment
cycles, integrated RIS and PACS systems and the cloud can improve
staff and clinician efficiency, increase revenue capture and
ultimately improve patient volume," said Justin Dearborn, CEO,
Merge Healthcare. "With an integrated RIS, PACS and cloud solution
they will be well-positioned to meet their current challenges and
future requirements even as they meet the requirements for
Meaningful Use."
