August 6, 2009—Jacksonville, FL— Viztek, the Jacksonville-based radiology solution provider announces installation of its Opal-ORTHO PACS software and U-Arm DR digital radiography (DR) technology at North Shore Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, PC in Smithtown, NY. After conducting an extensive search process, the busy nine-physician practice selected the two-component Viztek solution because it offered a full range of customized orthopedic features and was extremely easy to use.
“With a volume of about 70 x-ray images daily, maintaining a darkroom setup was really hampering our overall workflow and efficiency,” said Jean Stumpf, office manager for the orthopedic practice. Orthopedist member Kevin Vesey of the practice knew it was time for a digital conversion and wanted to invest the effort to identify the best technology available to meet their needs.
Viztek’s turnkey PACS/DR solution provides an excellent fit for the practice, not only because of its reasonable price but also because of its availability as a complete turn-key solution, including all software, hardware, IT integration and training and support. The advanced PACS features represent cutting edge IT technology, while the U-ARM DR brings state-of-the-art DR technology to the free-standing medical practice.
“We have no in-house IT staff to install and manage a digital system,” added Stumpf. “Viztek handled it all. Installation was smooth, and we were up and running quickly. Even staff who had never used this type of technology before found the technology easy to use.”
With an ultra-fast installation and training cycle, the Viztek technology was enhancing practice efficiency almost immediately after purchase, adding new image quality and speed to North Shore’s workflow.
“Viztek’s U-Arm DR and Opal-ORTHO are a great fit for this facility. The customized orthopedic digital solution offers North Shore the increased efficiency it would have never experienced without making the change from traditional x-ray. With the new technology in place, we look forward to seeing the practice grow and evolve,” says Viztek General Manager Bruce Ashby.”
