Griffin Hospital Selects CoActiv EXAM-PACS® for their Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)
Ridgefield, CT – CoActiv Medical Business Solutions, a software and systems provider to hospitals and radiology imaging centers, announces that Griffin Hospital, located in Derby, Connecticut, has selected CoActiv EXAM-PACS® as their picture archiving and communications system (PACS). Griffin Hospital, a 160-bed acute care facility that has received numerous awards and recognition for their approach to patient care, has chosen EXAM-PACS for the management of all their digital radiography exams.
Griffin Hospital will benefit from the EXAM-PACS solution by offering radiologists, referring physicians and technicians a state-of- the art digital image management solution that delivers DICOMM compliant radiography exams quickly, securely and efficiently for diagnostic interpretation. CoActiv EXAM-PACS offers a “100% up-time” archiving service level agreement (SLA) that ensures all digital radiography exams of a patient will be instantly available for comparison viewing in emergency care situations. “CoActiv Medical Business Solutions is honored to be selected by one of the top, forward thinking hospitals in the country, and it is further affirmation that our EXAM-PACS solution is one of the best in its class of enterprise PACS solutions,” states Ed Heere, President of CoActiv Medical Business Solutions.
The CoActiv EXAM-PACS full solution includes the following modules:
CoActiv EXAM-Vault®: an on-line and “quad-redundant,” HIPAA-compliant archive solution that saves exams in four locations, three of which are immediately available on-line, and one that is saved on secure removable digital media. By choosing this particular archiving solution, which is the industry’s most redundant and secure exam storage system, Griffin Hospital can guarantee their thousands of patients that medical images will always be instantly available, when and if needed to make immediate treatment decisions.
CoActiv EXAM-Filer®: a CD burning solution that creates self-contained, exam study CDs, readable in virtually any CD or DVD equipped Windows PC. The EXAM-Filer® CDs are ideal for fast and inexpensive distribution of exams to patients, as well as referring and consulting physicians. This solution helps to control the cost of healthcare, while simplifying and streamlining the secure distribution of the largest and most detailed radiological digital examinations in a manageable media format.
CoActiv EXAM-Sender®: an innovative, patent-pending, web-based application that can instantly transmit exams, reports and other information — automatically, securely and in a timesaving background mode — to referring doctors. Using government certified 128-bit encryption, patient exams will be instantly sent to the referring or consulting doctors, often before the patient leaves the hospital. This helps assure the most prompt and accurate healthcare diagnosis and treatment.
