PACSHealth to Install System at Atlantic Health

PACSHealth LLC, the developer of PACSHealth, an innovative application that uses advanced monitoring and reporting tools to improve Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) workflow and throughput, announced today that it has signed an agreement to install its PACSHealth system at Atlantic Healths seven hospital facilities in the northeastern United States.

Atlantic Health will integrate PACSHealth with its General Electric Healthcare Centricity 2.1 PACS to provide real-time critical system event monitoring, historical performance trending and interactive audit log capabilities. The hospitals will use this dashboard of information to improve patient outcomes by analyzing its PACS data and intercepting patient or study mismatch errors, system anomalies and data inconsistencies.

PACSHealth, LLC "> develops software systems for medical imaging technology.

Atlantic Health "> is one of the largest non-profit health care systems in New Jersey and includes Overlook Hospital in Summit and Morristown Memorial Hospital.

The two hospitals have a combined total of 1,133 licensed beds and more than 2,100 affiliated physicians providing a wide array of health care services to the five million residents of 11 northern and central New Jersey counties.

Specialty services include cardiovascular care, neurosciences, pediatrics, cancer care orthopedics, diabetes care, gastroenterology, trauma and emergency medicine, behavioral health, minimally invasive surgery radiology and advanced diagnostics, womens health and maternal fetal medicine, home and hospice care and rehabilitation services.

In 2008, Atlantic Health will complete the new Gagnon Heart Hospital, a 250,000 square-foot facility that will consolidate all cardiovascular services at Morristown Memorial Hospital.

Systems like PACS, radiology information system (RIS) and voice recognition have become invaluable tools that allow us to quickly transmit and share vital information in order to provide high-quality care to patients throughout our two major hospitals and several other facilities, said Linda Reed, vice president, information systems/chief information officer for Atlantic Health. Using PACSHealth, we will be able to more easily monitor these complex systems throughout that network and continue to offer that level of service to our patients.

Atlantic Health maintains a Partnership with The Cancer Institute of New Jersey. Atlantic Healths hospitals are accredited by The Joint Commission. Atlantic Health is the primary academic and clinical affiliate in New Jersey of Mount Sinai School of Medicine and The Mount Sinai Hospital.
