Top-Ranked Company Expands Enterprise Imaging Installations
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DR Systems, the 2011 KLAS® #1 ranked overall PACS vendor, today announced new contracts with four facilities for the company’s Unity™ CVIS (Cardiovascular Information System). The facilities are:
- Twin Cities Community Hospital
- Good Shepherd Medical Center
- HealthCare Partners Medical Group
- St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital
St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital is fulfilling its enterprise imaging strategy by replacing its legacy radiology and cardiology solutions with the Unity Enterprise platform that includes Unity CVIS along with Unity RIS and PACS. The other contracts are at institutions that already have the DR Systems Unity RIS/PACS, and are adding Unity CVIS to meet their cardiology department’s needs.
The range of facilities opting for Unity CVIS reflects the flexible nature of this solution. The contracts encompass a community hospital, two larger hospitals, and an extensive multi-facility medical group that serves a large population and geographical area.
Unity CVIS is a true enterprise imaging solution with shared infrastructure among multiple departments. It interfaces with existing clinical, EMR, and HIS solutions, and easily integrates into a healthcare provider’s existing storage and network foundations.
