Viztek, the advanced digital imaging solutions provider, announces the 100th installation of its state-of-the-art Opal-RIS solution at Pershing Memorial Hospital in Brookfield, MO.  The 40-bed critical access hospital installed the RIS, along with Viztek Opal-RAD PACS, to enable a complete transition to a digital radiology environment for modalities that include X-ray, CT, Ultrasound and MRI.

 According to Debbie Hoyt, Radiology Director for the hospital, “Pershing needed a comprehensive, user friendly system at an affordable price.  Viztek fit the bill.  A major benefit of the Viztek system was that it integrated seamlessly with the company’s Opal-RAD PACS for tightly integrated workflow.”

 Hoyt notes that the RIS performed similarly to more costly applications and that Viztek was willing to implement a range of customizations for the site.  “Our staff radiologist with years of experience in the field had no problem switching almost immediately to digital workflow.  The system was that intuitive and easy to learn,” she said.  “All the radiologists love it.”

Viztek Opal-RIS is a powerful, easy-to-use and affordable solution supporting advanced digital management of a radiology business, from patient scheduling and registration to report dictation and billing.  Opal-RIS shares a single database and functions seamlessly with Viztek’s state-of-the-art Opal-RAD PACS to create a complete solution for efficient patient care and business management.  This includes document scanning to support productive, paperless workflow.  The application’s standards-based architecture integrates with any third-party HIS, dictation, billing and PACS solutions.

  In addition to the 100th Opal-RIS installation, Viztek also recently installed its 500th PACS and 1500th Orex CR at Rappahannock General Hospital in Kilmarnock, VA.
