Denver, Colorado and Montreal, Canada – February 4, 2013 – Intelerad Medical Systems™, a leader in medical imaging PACS, RIS and workflow solutions, today announced that NationalRad have selected IntelePACS® to support their nationwide network of subspecialty radiologists. The solution was selected on a number of factors, including its scalability, image accessibility and a universal viewer and worklist that provides a consistent user experience for remote reading.

Since going live with IntelePACS in September, NationalRad have seen a tremendous increase in productivity due to solution’s ease of use, as well as the speed at which doctors can access studies and complete reports. These results have driven satisfaction rates with both NationalRad’s staff and customers.  

“IntelePACS is designed to excel in highly distributed environments, which makes it the ideal solution for NationalRad,” said Randall Oka, President and CEO, Intelerad. “The solution is highly scalable which allows radiology groups to grow with ease, and by leveraging the solution’s Multi-Method Reporting™ module, which blends dictation, voice recognition and structured reports, radiology groups can drive productivity and maintain high standards of quality across their care network.”

Denver, Colorado and Montreal, Canada – November 29, 2012 – Intelerad Medical Systems™, a leader in medical imaging PACS, RIS and workflow solutions, today announced the launch of RadVoice™, a community website designed exclusively for radiologists to share knowledge and information.

“At Intelerad®, we understand the value of connecting people in a way that bolsters communal knowledge,” said Helene Gey, Vice-President, Marketing, Intelerad. “With RadVoice, our goal is to provide a platform that will bring the radiology community closer together and allow it to flourish through the exchange of knowledge and information.”

Driven by educational content developed for radiologists, RadVoice is a dedicated environment free of advertising, and focused on radiologists. To promote knowledge sharing, the website features daily industry news and member forums, which will be moderated to remove any information that is not relevant to radiologists. The site also features webinars and a community blog, which are built on the contributions of the community. Currently posted are the following:

How to Drive 25 Percent Growth During National Decline, a webinar presented by Dr. Sheryl Jordan of Carolina Regional Radiology.

The Labors of Lesser Gods, a blog posting contributed by Dr. Bruce J. Hillman, Professor of Radiology and Medical Imaging and Public Health Sciences at the University of Virginia. 

As an Intelerad initiative, RadVoice will also feature a private section dedicated to Intelerad users. This section will help enhance their user experience with Intelerad solutions by offering tips and tricks videos, as well as long form demos on the solutions that radiologists use most, such as InteleViewer and Multi-Method Reporting.

“Much like our distributed radiology solutions, RadVoice is a site that will drive radiologists’ performance,” said Gey. “At RSNA 2012, we’ve been providing tours of RadVoice and invite any radiologists who are interested in joining the site to visit our booth before the end of the event.”

Intelerad’s booth at RSNA is #4814, located in Hall A of McCormick Place’s South Building. For more information, please visit www.radvoice.intelerad.com.

Radiology Associates L.L.C. select Intelerad Solutions to Grow Business and Improve Efficiency
Baton Rouge-based radiology group seeing results just six weeks after going live with IntelePACS® and InteleOne®

Denver, Colorado and Montreal, Canada – November 28, 2012 – Intelerad Medical Systems™, a leader in medical imaging PACS, RIS and workflow solutions, today announced that Radiology Associates, L.L.C., based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, have selected Intelerad®’s IntelePACS® and InteleOne® solutions to help grow their business and improve their efficiency.

“The decision to deploy IntelePACS and InteleOne was primarily based on the solutions’ functionality, as well as Intelerad®’s reputation for customer service and the strong references provided by existing customers,” said Brandon St. Amant, Chief, Department of Radiology, Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center. “We went live on October 1, and in that short time we have already seen improvements in efficiency that will position us well for growth.”

Founded in 1960, Radiology Associates is one of the largest private radiology groups in Baton Rouge. With 22 radiologists on staff, the hospital-based group services the greater Baton Rouge metropolitan area and reads approximately 250,000 studies per year. The main facilities they service include Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, Interventional Radiology Clinic, Woman's Hospital Main Campus, Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center and Lake Imaging Center.

Prior to deploying Intelerad’s solutions, Radiology Associates had numerous growth opportunities, but was unable to capitalize due to the infrastructure they had in place. According to CEO Tim Barrett, the group is confident that they will be able to grow the business and increase efficiency by leveraging InteleOne’s ability to consolidate information from disparate PACS and create unified worklists.  

"As a radiology group serving numerous medical centers, Radiology Associates L.L.C. of Baton Rouge needed a solution to help increase their efficiency and grow their business,” said Randall Oka, President and CEO, Intelerad. "By deploying IntelePACS and InteleOne, they will have a solid infrastructure that will allow them to succeed in a complex, distributed environment and reach their goals.”

Intelerad’s InteleOne solution streamlines medical imaging workflows from disparate PACS, HIS and RIS into a unified reading solution, with one common viewer and worklist, providing seamless access to all studies, including priors, regardless of location.

Radiology Business Journal to Unveil the Radiology 100 at RSNA
Sponsored by Intelerad, list recognizes the United States’ 100 Largest Private Radiology Practices

Denver, Colorado and Montreal, Canada – November 24, 2012 – Intelerad Medical Systems™, a leader in medical imaging PACS, RIS and workflow solutions, will host the unveiling of the Radiology Business Journal's list of the 100 largest radiology practices. The list will be presented at this year’s RSNA 2012, which takes place November 25-30 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The presentation will take place at Intelerad®’s RSNA booth on Sunday, November 25 at 11 a.m. The Intelerad booth is #4814, which is located in Hall A of the event center’s South Building.

"This year marks a milestone in our annual ranking of the nation's largest private practices," says Curtis Kauffman-Pickelle, Radiology Business Journal publisher and CEO of imagingBiz. "Readers will find it to be our most complete and accurate list yet, expanded this year to 100 practices. We're calling them the Radiology 100."

The list is based on the results of a survey that is distributed to private radiology practices. While the ranking is solely based on the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) radiologists, the survey also gathers data to provide insight into the state of the industry, such as the number imaging centers owned by each practice, number of median procedures performed, number of FTE employees and number of median hospital contracts.

"For the first time, size became an undisputed factor in the practice's ability to succeed in the marketplace in 2012," says Cheryl Proval, editor of Radiology Business Journal. "This was suggested by multiple indicators. We also saw evidence of an increasingly competitive market, with hospital contracts down in all size categories except the very largest."

“We are quite proud not only to be sponsoring RBJ’s Radiology 100, but to also have a number of customers included in this list,” said Randall Oka, President and CEO, Intelerad. “Since our inception, we have specialized in building radiology solutions for complex distributed environments and it is gratifying to see them leveraged by North America’s leading private practices.”

Following the presentation of the Radiology 100, representatives from the organizations on the list are invited to pick up their award at Intelerad’s booth (#4814). For more information, please visit http://www.intelerad.com/rsna2012/#rbj_top_100.

Nuance and Intelerad Partner to Bring Voice-Enabled Radiology Reporting to Community Hospitals and Imaging Centers

Speech Recognition Considered a New Service Standard to Help Radiologists Decrease Report Turnaround Time

BURLINGTON, Mass., and DENVER, Co., November 13, 2012 – Today, Nuance Communications, Inc. and Intelerad Medical Systems™ announced a reseller agreement by which Intelerad^® will now offer the benefits of Nuance’s proven voice-enabled radiology offering, Powerscribe 360 | Reporting, alongside their medical imaging solutions.  According to recent findings, incorporating speech recognition into a radiologists’ workflow is a new service benchmark that can significantly decrease report turnaround times and improve services to referring physicians. 

Community hospitals and imaging centers face the same pressures as large hospitals for fast, efficient and accurate reporting of patient results, but with more limited IT resources.  Nuance’s voice-enabled radiology reporting helps address these industry challenges by creating higher-quality documentation and exam interpretations, while improving report turnaround times.  This reseller partnership will enable Intelerad’s more than 1,000 imaging center and community hospital customer sites to deploy speech recognition in an effort to establish best practices for reading and reporting patient imaging results. 

“Nuance is the market leader in voice-enabled radiology reporting,” said Randall Oka, chief executive officer, Intelerad.  “This partnership will benefit imaging centers and community hospitals by identifying ways to streamline workflow and improve productivity.  We’re excited about the competitive advantage this partnership presents for our customers.”

Through this partnership, Intelerad customers can now take advantage of the same speech technology that is already used to create nearly half of all radiology exams in the U.S.  By leveraging Nuance’s PowerScribe 360 platform together with Intelerad’s solutions, radiologists can take a smarter, faster approach to reporting.  Intelerad’s solutions include the #1 ranked ambulatory PACS by KLAS five years in a row – IntelePACS^®, InteleRIS^™, InteleOne^® and the recently launched Flow^™ Enterprise Diagnostics Solution.   

“Today, radiologists face unprecedented scrutiny and competition so technology is often times a factor that differentiates practices,” said Janet Dillione, executive vice president and general manager, Nuance Healthcare.  “We are excited to partner with Intelerad because of the important role it plays in the medical imaging market.  Together, we’ll build upon our shared commitment to arm radiologists with the tools they need to adjust to changing workplace dynamics.”

New version of InteleConnect provides a universal viewer and specialists' worklists

Denver, Colorado and Montreal, Canada – November 6, 2012 – Intelerad Medical Systems^TM, a leader in medical imaging PACS, RIS and workflow solutions, today announced the launch of InteleConnect^TM Clinical Hub.  The solution provides zero-footprint access to any internal or third-party PACS or DICOM archive at anytime from any location, using desktop web browsers, mobile devices, or Intelerad®’s own iOS app.

“With the release of InteleConnect Clinical Hub, we are introducing significant features that will greatly enhance referring physicians’ access to information,” said Rick Rubin, Chief Engineering Officer, Intelerad. “In doing so, physicians can work in a more efficient and effective manner to deliver better care to patients.” 

New Features

To further enhance the way that physicians access information, the solution features intelligent worklists, which provide physicians with streamlined views that contain only their patients' images and activity. The solution also enables radiologists to communicate discrepancies with clinician’s impressions. 

InteleConnect Clinical Hub also features a collaboration suite that allows referrers and radiologists to work closer than ever before. This set of tools allows physicians to flexibly and securely grant access and share exams in a single click no matter where they're stored, or instantly deliver tailored multi-level notifications and effortlessly manage critical results.

Using InteleConnect Clinical Hub, care providers can deliver reports and results from multiple acquisition and readings sources. The solution also allows emergency room physicians to access all of their patient information, even when images are not yet available, and receive real-time updates. To enact custom views, the solution also provides clinicians with effective presets for windows-leveling and multiple viewports so a number of images can be seen in the same viewer.

Big Step Forward for InteleConnect

“With this version of InteleConnect, we have taken some big steps forward,” said Rubin. “With its clinical intelligence, collaboration suite and universal patient search, InteleConnect takes truly patient-centric care to the next level.”

As with previous versions, InteleConnect is compatible with any desktop or mobile web browser, provides the option for preliminary and audio reports, patient search, timely email notifications for critical results, and status updates for requisitions. Secure and easy to manage, InteleConnect complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and all other industry standards.

InteleConnect Clinical Hub will be released to market in the first quarter of 2013. For more information, please visit http://www.intelerad.com/rsna2012/#new_at_rsna_2012.

Intelerad’s InteleOne Solution Receives High Marks from KLAS

Pioneering enterprise workflow solution given an overall grade of A-

Denver, Colorado and Montreal, Canada – October 23, 2012 – Intelerad^® Medical Systems, a leader in medical imaging PACS, RIS and workflow solutions, today announced that their InteleOne® solution has received an overall grade of A- in the KLAS research report InteleOne: A KLAS Innovation Review. The report was written by KLAS analysts, with the findings based on a comprehensive series of interviews conducted with InteleOne customers.

“We are quite pleased with the high marks that InteleOne received from KLAS,” said Randall Oka, President and CEO, Intelerad. “InteleOne’s original goal was to improve radiology practices’ efficiency by streamlining medical imaging workflows from disparate PACS, HIS, RIS, and EMRs into a unified reading solution. As this KLAS report clearly demonstrates, InteleOne’s features and benefits have helped us achieve that goal and provide a solid ROI for our customers.”

Amongst the key findings in the report, InteleOne customers reported improvements in efficiency and workflow, with over 70% seeing a good or excellent ROI. Furthermore, over 60% of customers have seen improved customer relationships. In terms of integration, KLAS validated that InteleOne currently interfaces with 36 different PACS, RIS and EMR solutions.

On October 12, Ben Brown, General Manager for Medical Equipment & Imaging Informatics (PACS) at KLAS Enterprises, presented the results of the report at Intelerad’s InteleOne Visionary Forum, a strategic user group event that gathered key InteleOne customers in Montreal, Canada. As part of his presentation, Brown recognized InteleOne as a pioneering technology that is sought by radiologists and practices who are looking to solve workflow issues related to disparate image management systems. He also noted that Intelerad is the only company they are aware of with enough live clients for an early measurement worth sharing.

“For years customers have recognized Intelerad as an industry leader in the ambulatory PACS market. Early adopters are also recognizing Intelerad for its development of InteleOne with optimism,” said Ben Brown of KLAS. “While IT interfacing expertise is one of the technical keys to success with InteleOne, radiology groups are touting that this interoperable enterprise imaging workflow platform is increasing productivity, improving patient care, client relationships and creating opportunities to grow their business.”

A peer and image quality-review solution seamlessly embedded into the radiologist reading workflow for hospitals, imaging centers or radiology groups.

Chicago, Illinois - November 29, 2011 - Intelerad^® Medical Systems, Intelerad Medical Systems, a leader in medical imaging PACS, RIS and workflow solutions, today announced its new embedded Peer Review solution to be demonstrated at the RSNA annual meeting, from November 27 to December 1st in Chicago, Illinois.

Following the example of the American College of Radiologists (ACR), requests to carry out a peer review are presented to radiologists within their regular reading and reporting workflow. Radiologists are requested to conduct a peer review when they open a prior study case that has been flagged for review, or they have the option to complete it at a later point in time from their peer review worklist. Organizations can set peer review quotas per radiologist that pertain to the specialty and qualifications of the radiologist. Complete with a customizable scoring system, Intelerad Peer Review ensures anonymization for radiologists so that reviews can be completed without bias.

"Intelerad's Peer Review helps organizations significantly raise the bar on quality," said Rick Rubin, Chief Engineering Officer. "Our solution is innovative and full-featured. Review discrepancies can be flagged in the system and notifications are dispatched based on severity to enable quick and effective response. Quality-focused organizations can also conduct benchmarking and other important initiatives for superior imaging and results."

The Intelerad Peer Review scores are accessed through a web portal and the solution can be included with Intelerad's IntelePACS^®, InteleOne^®, or InteleSuite™ products. Intelerad Peer Review can also be integrated into third-party reading environments.

For increased reporting accuracy and time savings, the information in HL7 fields can now be auto-inserted into report templates, eliminating the need for radiologists to re-dictate information in the final report.

"We continue to focus on workflow automation and improving the personalized experience in order to boost radiologist productivity," said Rick Rubin, Intelerad Chief Engineering Officer. "Our goal is to increase radiologists' reading speed and comfort, enabling enhanced productivity and accuracy."

Demonstrations will take place at RSNA 2011: Intelerad booth #4053 Hall, A.

New voice recognition and productivity features include voice-activated commands, auto-insertion of HL7 fields and expanded customization tools

Chicago, Illinois - November 28, 2011 - Intelerad^® Medical Systems, a leader in medical imaging PACS, RIS and workflow solutions, today announced new functionality for its Multi-Method Reporting voice recognition module for use with IntelePACS^®, InteleOne^®, or InteleSuite™. The new features will be demonstrated at the RSNA annual meeting, Nov. 27 to Dec. 2 in Chicago, Illinois.

Embedded in InteleViewer™'s reading and reporting solution, Intelerad^®'s Multi-Method Reporting module boosts reading speed and productivity with a powerful voice recognition engine and customizable library of structured report templates.

The enhanced Multi-Method Reporting module offers a flexible new workflow option, enabling radiologists to save in-progress reports for completion later. This "long-term parking" feature retains the draft report in the reading state, allowing the radiologist to move on to other priorities and resume as desired.

Another new productivity feature is the ability to use voice-activated commands and custom-mapped speech microphone buttons, alone or in combination, to call up templates and quickly move through sections of a report. This dramatically improves reporting speed and the user experience.

For increased reporting accuracy and time savings, the information in HL7 fields can now be auto-inserted into report templates, eliminating the need for radiologists to re-dictate information in the final report.

"We continue to focus on workflow automation and improving the personalized experience in order to boost radiologist productivity," said Rick Rubin, Intelerad Chief Engineering Officer. "Our goal is to increase radiologists' reading speed and comfort, enabling enhanced productivity and accuracy."

Radiologists impressed with workflow efficiency gains and M*Modal's Speech Understanding™ technology

Washington, DC - June 03, 2011 - Intelerad^® Medical Systems today announced the availability of its Multi-Method Reporting™ module along with the new IntelePACS^® 4.3 release, which provides radiologists seamless access to voice recognition in their reporting workflow. Designed to accommodate the way radiologists naturally read and report studies, Intelerad's Multi-Method Reporting blends dictation, voice recognition and structured report templates together in a single, streamlined interface and workflow.

"We have deployed a limited trial release of the new Multi-method Reporting module to a few customers and the feedback has been very positive", said Rick Rubin, Founder and Chief Engineering Officer of Intelerad. "Radiologists are now free to choose how they report each study, depending on the case and personal preference. The result is faster than ever report turnaround times, as well as improved consistency and quality of the report."

M*Modal's Speech Understanding technology adapts to the physician's workflow and speech patterns, rather than the other way around. Combining advanced speech and natural language understanding technologies, M*Modal's platform goes beyond mainstream speech recognition capabilities because the semantic and syntactic meaning of the dictation is recognized, not just the individual words. Physician intent is recognized and the system adapts to virtually all dialects, accents, speaking styles and dictation habits.

"Our initial experience with Intelerad's Multi-Method Reporting has exceeded our expectations: The speech recognition engine has proven adept, and our workflow more efficient and faster," said Dr. Mark Awh, President of Radsource, a longtime IntelePACS customer specializing in musculoskeletal and neurological MRI.

"Intelerad's Multi-Method Reporting technology employs impressively accurate voice recognition and its embedded report structuring module will allow our practice to offer a standardized report to our referring clinicians while dramatically improving our turnaround times," said Dr. Harry Ameredes, President of Carolina Regional Radiology, an InteleOne^® customer and full-service radiology practice serving two imaging centers, four hospitals, and over a dozen clinics.

Accessible from any computer, smart phone, or tablet device, InteleConnect is a browser-based solution that does not require any training or installation of software: significantly reducing administrative and IT support work traditionally involved in results distribution. InteleConnect is also secure and HIPAA compliant, with reliable and encrypted communication of radiology results to any location, from patient bedside to home office.

Designed for busy physicians, InteleConnect is tailored to their needs: providing media-rich reports, interactive 2D and 3D key images, access to entire study, patient search, email notifications, critical results acknowledgement, status updates of imaging orders, and access to past patient results.

Ideal for promoting brand awareness, InteleConnect offers premium placement of the radiology provider's name and logo. InteleConnect provides Intelerad's hospital, imaging center, teleradiology and radiology group customers with a remarkable solution that reflects the quality of their service offering.

Intelerad will be showcasing InteleConnect, Multi-Method Reporting™ and other new IntelePACS 4.3 technology advancements at the upcoming SIIM show in Washington, DC starting on June 2, 2011, at booth number 814.
