Currently, Kodak's RIS, which serves as the information management backbone for a radiology department, is designed for hospitals and other large healthcare facilities. DICs are free standing, often independent centers that perform medical imaging services for hospitals and outpatient facilities, and as such have special requirements. "This agreement will enable us to customize our RIS platform for diagnostic imaging centers in a way that provides real value to these customers," said L. Jeffrey Markin, General Manager, Healthcare Information Systems, and Vice President, Kodak's Health Imaging Group. "Kodak is committed to developing products that enhance workflow and productivity for DICs. We expect customers to benefit from products that result from this relationship as Kodak focuses on the unique needs of the diagnostic imaging center market in the U.S. and beyond." "The immediate value of the Kodak partnership is that the U.S. radiology market will reap the benefits of an array of market-driven features and customer-focused expertise developed by MedSynTech over the past six years," said Seth Borg, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of ComSynTech. "Kodak's reputation - and the capabilities of its sales and service teams - are second to none," Borg added.
