New Microsoft NT-Clustering Technology Provides

Double Reliability and Peak Load Balancing The fine tuning of a computer system, network or disk subsystem in order to more evenly distribute the data and/or processing across available resources. For example, in clustering, load balancing might distribute the incoming transactions evenly to all servers, or it might redirect them  

Dynamic Healthcare Technologies, Inc., (Nasdaq:DHTI DHTI Digital Home Technology Integration ) today announced the successful implementation of Dynamic RadPlus, the company's image, voice and web-enabled radiology information system A Radiology Information System (RIS) is used by radiology departments to store, manipulate and distribute patient radiological data and imagery. The system generally consists of patient tracking and scheduling, result reporting and image tracking capabilities. , at Virginia Commonwealth University's prestigious Medical College of Virginia History
The school was founded in 1838 as the Medical Department of Hampden-Sydney College. It received an independent charter from the General Assembly in 1854 and became the Medical College of Virginia, and shortly thereafter transferred all its property to the Commonwealth

) in Richmond.

The system went into live operation on Thursday, June 24. In one of the first such installations of its kind, Dynamic incorporated leading-edge Microsoft NT-clustering into the solution to provide what amounts to virtual redundancy or a "fail-safe" duplicate back up to eliminate potential down-time.

The Medical College of Virginia Hospitals at Virginia Commonwealth University Formed by a merger between the Richmond Professional Institute and the Medical College of Virginia in 1968, VCU has a medical school that is home to the nation's oldest organ transplant program.  is a large teaching and research hospital which includes an active network of outpatient centers and draws patients from all over the world. It is listed in U.S. News and World Report's "Top 100 Hospitals." The department of radiology performs nearly 225,000 examinations per year. The implementation included more than 140 RadPlus workstations, 35 Dynamic Talk continuous speech recognition modules, Dynamic Optima mammography mammography, diagnostic procedure that uses low-dose X rays to detect abnormalities in the breasts. The early diagnosis of breast cancer made possible by the routine use of mammography for screening women increases a woman's treatment alternatives and improves her  management system, and a number of other advanced functions.

 to see our radiology solution in operation at MCV. This is a tremendous accomplishment and demonstrates very clearly the scalability of our client/server platform in a large, complex healthcare environment with numerous radiology transactions in many different locations. All of the installation, training and implementation had to take place while business was going on as usual. It is particularly exciting to know that we've introduced new technology at MCV that virtually eliminates down-time and automatically adapts to wide swings in radiology volume."

Barbara Baldwin, senior vice president of information services See Information Systems.  at MCV Hospitals, commented, "We are delighted to have Dynamic RadPlus in operation. We are particularly pleased with the Microsoft Wolfpack environment. It gives us an automatic fail-over capability and maintains the response times necessary to support the patient volumes that accompany such a busy service. Going into live operation went very well. In fact, I've remarked that other information system vendors could learn something from looking at the way the MCV/Dynamic team handled this implementation."

Ronald Miller, director of the department of radiology at MCV Hospitals, said, "We expect to realize significant value from Dynamic RadPlus now that it is in operation. The healthcare environment has changed dramatically and, with it, the way we deliver our services. Radiology is growing rapidly and today we are much more than a department in a hospital. We provide services at a number of different locations and across a wide range of settings. RadPlus gives us the ability to access and manage that information so we can provide the highest quality service to referring physicians and to patients."

Dynamic RadPlus (formerly Maxifile C/S See client/server. ) is ng, editing, and approving reports on-line. Dynamic Optima, an integral component of Dynamic RadPlus, computerizes mammography functions in the radiology department.
