If you are part of a health system that has spent months building and designing a new picture archive and communications system (PACS), it is undoubtedly an exciting time. Reaching the point of PACS activation and getting staff up and running is a true milestone. Once your company reaches this point, it may feel like the hard work is over and that it is time to take a deep breath, but in reality there is still much more to do and questions that have to be answered in order to fully support your organization during and post PACS go-live.

Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Optimal Radiology Partners (ORP) was formed in late 2012 as a joint venture between Advanced Diagnostic Imaging (ADI) and Optimal Radiology. Comprised of more than 100 radiologists, ORP delivers high quality sub-specialty interpretations around the clock, efficiently and cost-effectively, to millions of patients across the country.
Technology Platform Key to Enhanced Quality, Operational Efficiency
The joint venture is extending the quality and efficiency benefits offered by ADI’s technology platform to a growing list of imaging centers, community hospitals, small critical access sites, and large hospitals. The adoption of Intelerad’s InteleOne distributed radiology solution is enabling this expansion.
“With an InteleOne solution, we get more highly-qualified radiologists on the same worklist, reading the studies that they are best trained to read,” says Dr. Chad Calendine, CEO of ADI and Chief Medical Officer for the ORP joint venture. “We can get all two million exams on a common worklist.”
May 02, 2013 Intelerad Medical Systems announced the availability of a Frost & Sullivan analysis detailing the strengths of their medical imaging workflow solutions.

In the Canterbury region of New Zealand, the Canterbury District Health Board (DHB) ensures the effective coordination and delivery of public healthcare services to the district’s 500,000 residents. It is the largest employer in New Zealand’s South Island, with more than 9,000 staff across 14 hospitals and numerous community bases.
Canterbury DHB is highly patient-centric. The group strives diligently to remove bottlenecks from what is often referred to as “the patient’s journey.” Canterbury DHB has used Intelerad’s IntelePACS for the seamless archiving, distributing, and secure sharing of images and reports.
IntelePACS’ integrated workflow, universal worklist, and comprehensive InteleViewer module increase productivity and efficiency for the organization’s radiologists. “It is Intelerad’s workflow that makes the difference,” says Dr. Sean Skea, Canterbury DHB’s chief of radiology at Christchurch Hospital.
In the Christchurch area, the patient journey may begin in the public system, continue with a private specialist and then return to the public system. Efficiency in patient imaging is maintained, however, because private practitioners in Christchurch also use IntelePACS. Thus, physicians and radiologists get instant, seamless access to prior images and reports, whether the studies originated in the public or private system.
The availability of a common, robust PACS solution also allows Canterbury DHB to effectively share its radiology workload with the private sector when necessary. This has been critical as demand for services can outpace the supply of radiologists in the public system.

Continuing a 60-year legacy, the 21 physicians at Radiology Associates, LLC provide high-quality diagnostic imaging and intervention services to hospitals and a growing list of imaging center clients in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, metropolitan area.
Traditionally, Radiology Associates’ primary revenue source was from serving a large local general medical and surgical hospital in the Baton Rouge area and its affiliated network. The practice enjoys a strong and mutually beneficial relationship; however, in the ever-evolving healthcare environment, the executives at Radiology Associates decided in 2011 it was time to expand the group’s ability to capture additional growth opportunities.
The practice adopted Intelerad’s IntelePACS, for seamless archiving, distributing, and secure sharing of images and reports. Radiology Associates also adopted InteleOne, a distributed solution that streamlines medical imaging workflows into a single, unified reading solution.
Intelerad’s commitment to customer service has distinguished the relationship from the beginning – even when, during the August 2012 roll-out, Hurricane Isaac made landfall in the region. Intelerad personnel traveled to and remained on-site in Baton Rouge, enduring the storm and ensuring a successful launch.
Dr. St. Amant is extremely pleased with the Intelerad solutions’ functionality and reliability, as well as the successful business growth that the technology is enabling. Within three months of going live with Intelerad solutions, the practice added three new clients – all of whom are delighted with Radiology Associates’ level of service.
