Clarkston Medical Group Selects Sage Software Healthcare, Inc. for Replacement PACS.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Sage Software Healthcare, Inc. has announced that Clarkston Medical Group, a 15-physician medical group based in Clarkston, Mich., has selected Intergy PACS by Sage, powered by Dynamic Imaging's IntegradWeb[R] PACS, as its picture archive and communications system (PACS) of choice. The selection comes as a result of Clarkston's need to migrate from a legacy PACS to a Web-based solution that enhances portability, image and report access, and cost savings.

Physicians and staff at Clarkston were previously working with an older PACS that was insufficient to support the needs of the growing practice. Physicians and staff at Clarkston evaluated several other PACS that would allow them to eliminate analog studies and more easily access and share patient images and reports, regardless of when the original studies were performed. The group chose Intergy PACS for several reasons, including its user-friendly interface which is the same for all users, the ability to easily transfer and convert old legacy data, and the fact that an unlimited number of users can have access to the system simultaneously.

"Intergy PACS proved to be the best choice for our group because it benefits both our patients and bottom line," said Edward Werner, Chief Financial Officer, Clarkston Medical Group. "Intergy PACS allows physicians and staff to electronically retrieve patient data and respond to their individual needs from any location. In turn, we are able to benefit from cost savings directly related to greater efficiency and no longer needing to physically store patient images, which we had to do with our previous system."

Intergy PACS is an award-winning diagnostic solution that provides ambulatory practices and imaging centers like Clarkston with a state-of-the-art Web-based PACS. This allows physicians and staff to access patient images anywhere an Internet connection is available, enhance patient care using advanced visualization tools, and save time through the distribution of automated results to referring physicians. Intergy PACS features an easy-to-use interface that is customizable for each individual user, retaining the same user experience wherever the user logs onto the system. Intergy PACS also includes active worklists, auto-email of results, fast performance for even the largest multi-thousand slice CT studies, integrated 3D, as well as strong support for DICOM and IHE industry standards, including IHE-standard Portable Data for Imaging CDs.

"Like Clarkston, many imaging centers are moving away from dated, legacy PACS to Intergy PACS, which provides their staff with the opportunity to truly maximize workflow, provide the best possible service to referring physicians and enhance the center's bottom line," said Sharon Howard, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Sage Software Healthcare, Inc. "What's more, radiologists who use Intergy PACS will be able to experience complete portability of their diagnostic workstation, and the physicians they serve will be able to access imaging results when and where they need them, allowing for faster and more efficient patient care."
