Thriving 24-Office, Multi-Specialist Practice Group Cites CoActiv’s Advanced Technology, Personalized Service and Affordable Price
June 7, 2010 — Ridgefield, Conn — “Mount Kisco Medical Group is an extremely fast-growing, dynamic multi-specialty practice group. CoActiv not only delivered the high-quality, complex and diversified storage we needed today but is committed to meeting our evolving needs in the future,” said John Basile, Administrative Director of Radiology for the group. “CoActiv is committed to going the extra distance to meet all our needs. CoActiv president and CEO Ed Heere’s counsel has been extremely valuable to us.”
MKMG selected CoActiv because of its high-quality cloud-based technology, personalized, flexible service and affordable pricing, following an extensive search process that included both in-house hardware solutions as well as the complete range of medical archiving vendors.
According to Basile, MKMG’s original onsite PACS archive had become obsolete and was not scalable to meet the growing practice’s needs. “We wanted an archiving system that would grow with us and would also provide disaster protection,” comments Basile, who also stresses that CoActiv’s vendor neutral storage format is a major benefit in today’s healthcare environment with its emphasis on interoperability and information sharing.
“CoActiv’s EXAM-VAULT met all our needs at an extremely reasonable cost,” he says.
Unrivaled for accessibility, reliability, security and cost-effective pricing, EXAM-VAULT provides innovative QUAD-REDUNDANT ARCHIVING, which stores every study in four geographically
distant locations for superior disaster protection. It also provides immediate business continuity, restoring data access in emergency situation in seconds—not hours, or even days, like other vendors.
As a managed service, EXAM-VAULT shifts the burden of all archive system maintenance to CoActiv IT experts. CoActiv’s commitment to ongoing upgrades to maintain state-of-the-art technology eliminates issues of obsolescence. EXAM-VAULT easily can be integrated with other PACS solutions, such as MKMG’s McKesson PACS, offering an affordable and highly scalable archiving solution for radiology departments and practices of any size. It comes with a 100 Percent Up-Time Service Level Agreement.
According to Mr. Basile, ultra-fast and reliable image access was essential. The ability of CoActiv to eliminate issues of technical obsolescence and IT support also emerged as an important benefit during
the search process. “Equally important, we needed seamless migration of existing images to the new archive, and we needed a provider committed to getting the job done quickly and efficiently,” says Basile. “CoActiv moved all our images and had our new archive up and running in less than one month with absolutely no disruption in medical services. The entire radiology department and all of our physicians agree we made an excellent archiving choice.”
