ST. LOUIS, Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercy Technology Services (MTS), the IT backbone of one of the largest Catholic health systems in the nation, announced the launch of a new picture archiving communication system (PACS) imaging solution.
MTS has bundled a best-of-breed enterprise viewer, vendor neutral archive, workflow orchestrator, speech recognition and reporting in a Software as a Service model, which is securely hosted in its cloud, making it ideal for small to midsize hospitals looking for efficiency and cost-effectiveness from cloud solutions.
Hospitals today struggle with multiple, aging PACS systems. As a result, radiologists lose time locating imaging studies, switching between workstations and dealing with system slowness, which causes frustration and hinders their ability to quickly deliver high-quality diagnostic interpretations for efficient patient care.
That was the case for Mercy, a 40-plus hospital system across four states, until it switched its platform with the help of MTS, consolidating nine legacy PACS systems down to a single, integrated solution. Today, with speedy server-side image processing from the Visage enterprise imaging platform, a workflow orchestrator from the Siemens Healthineers company Medicalis to auto-coordinate radiologists' worklists in a one-stop shop and Nuance's Powerscribe 360 speech recognition and reporting, Mercy's radiologists have increased efficiency and decreased report turnaround time by up to 50 percent.
Now, built on a foundation of proven hosting services, MTS will become the first health care provider to extend PACS as Service, whether bundled or by the component, to hospitals across the country.
