CoActiv Debuts Advanced Affordable EXAM-RIS Family at RSNA 2009

RIDGEFIELD, Conn. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - CoActiv, the enterprise image and data management specialist, breaks the RIS price/performance barrier at RSNA 2009 with its introduction of the advanced, affordable CoActiv family of EXAM-RIS solutions fine-tuned to meet the needs of a full range of imaging sites. From freestanding imaging centers to large, multi-site enterprises and fast-growing teleradiology practices, CoActiv now offers an affordably priced state-of-the art solution to seamlessly integrate and manage the workflow of the entire radiology team. Each powerful application offers sophisticated functionalities--from exam scheduling and tracking to report signing--synonymous with solutions costing multiple times the price.

All CoActiv RIS solutions are seamlessly integrated with CoActiv EXAM-PACS web-based PACS for a complete state-of-the-art radiology image and data management system. They also support other vendors' applications through an HL7 interface. Each of the applications will save time and enhance departmental accuracy and efficiency with flexible, customizable technology that provides all authorized users with anytime, anywhere access to vital radiology information and interface with most dictation, voice recognition and billing programs.

EXAM-RIS Essentials

Powerful and comprehensive, yet easy-to-use, new CoActiv EXAM-RIS Essentials is the full-featured choice for single-site, budget-conscious imaging centers. It provides all essential RIS functionalities-scheduling, tracking, worklists, transcription, built-in support for voice recording and speech recognition, plus much more-but is priced at under $15,000. Combined with CoActiv EXAM-PACS Essentials --a similarly budget-conscious choice for smaller facilities--it provides a complete radiology management solution at an affordable price and offers a built in upgrade path to more robust CoActiv applications.

EXAM-RIS Enterprise

New EXAM-RIS Enterprise is a complete Web-based application with the robust capabilities required by large, multi-site facilities. It provides anytime, anywhere access to information with any Internet browser. No additional client software is required. This advanced application includes all standard RIS features with extra support for added volume. It provides such advanced features as flexible rules-based exam routing, load balancing and immediate updating of multi-site worklists. EXAM-RIS Enterprise also offers top-of-the-line client and referring physician communications and report distribution features.

EXAM-TELRIS

Rounding out the suite with a host of special features for today's fast-growing teleradiology practices is EXAM-TELRIS, a comprehensive practice management system as well as a full-featured Web-based RIS. EXAM-TELRIS provides all the advanced tools needed to manage the complexities of workflow involving exams from multiple client sites that are routed and read by radiologists at different locations. It features auto-exam routing based on date, time, subspeciality and site credentialing for sophisticated reading workflow management.

All images from multiple locations are sent to the CoActiv exam receiver and automatically forwarded to the appropriate radiologist for in-depth exam interpretation. The system provides paperless read requests, if desired, and routes data to the appropriate radiologist. A robust reporting module provides features from voice-to-text conversion to automatic signing and faxing. To manage a busy practice, the application offers such extras as the ability to capture all billing and fee information as well as a library of customizable predefined practice management reports.

"This year, as other vendors' business is retrenching, CoActiv EXAM-PACS has been enjoying great success because of its strong dedication to quality and value," says Ed Heere, President and CEO of CoActiv. "With our new EXAM-RIS offerings, CoActiv becomes a complete radiology solution for any imaging site. Customers are already excited about the new offering, and we anticipate it will meet with strong market approval all around."
