Raleigh, NC – Viztek, the radiology solution provider, has installed its Opal-RAD PACS and advanced digital radiography (DR)technology at Rockwall Urgent Care, in Rockwall, TX. The new facility is a full service, walk-in clinic, open seven days a week to provide the community with the highest standard of care. Rockwall offers a large range of services and consists of six physicians.
Rockwall Urgent Care decided to open the new facility equipped with a complete digital solution provided by Viztek. With Viztek’s PACS and DR, the facility is able to x-ray a patient and have access to digital images within seconds of exposure. After acquisition, images are automatically sent to the Opal-RAD PACS for, review, reporting, and storage. The site chose DR over CR because it allows the practice to x-ray without the need to handle cassettes. Another advantage that DR offers over the alternative digital solution CR is the time necessary to view images. DR images are available almost instantly while with CR cassette development is a much lengthier process.
In addition to streamlining workflow within the facility, Opal-RAD PACS enables outside referring physicians fast and secure access to patient files and exams. With Viztek’s Opal-RAD Web-based PACS, gone are the days when analog x-rays had to be physically transported from one facility to another. Rockwall now has the ability to send information digitally through the PACS.
Scott Pierce, Rockwall Urgent Care’s Medical Director, says, “We are extremely pleased with the new PACS and DR set-up. The speed and efficiency of the digital solution provided by Viztek is impressive and we look forward to growing our business using it.”
General Manager of Viztek, Bruce Ashby expresses similar sentiments, “Viztek is excited to be able to provide a digital solution that allows Rockwall to start off on the right foot. With Viztek’s PACS and DR, Rockwall Urgent Care has the opportunity and the ability to reach optimal facility workflow and is positioned for business expansion. We anticipate seeing the facility grow and thrive.”
