Tower Diagnostic Center Deploys Avreo interWORKS at Twelve Imaging Centers in Florida
CHARLESTON, SC, OCTOBER 14, 2008 – Avreo, leading provider of RIS/PACS solutions, today announced that they have been selected by Tower Diagnostic Center for across-the-enterprise use within their twelve imaging centers as part of the facilities charter to deliver exceptional patient care while expanding their business initiatives.
Avreo interWORKS is designed to meet the needs of free standing imaging centers and hospitals, with end-to-end solutions that automate processes at every point of patient and imaging encounter workflow. Avreo provides a fully integrated RIS/PACS solution that was designed as the first single application/single database radiology workflow solution that allows facilities to operate more efficiently.
“Imaging facilities across the country are seeing improvements in productivity, profitability, and referring physician satisfaction,” states Don Fulk, CIO of Tower Diagnostic Center. “Avreo helped us to sustain our profitability while we expanded from seven centers to twelve.” Fulk goes on to say, “we had separate systems for RIS, PACS and for scheduling and transcription. It was very complicated to manage and the system did not allow us to communicate between the centers. Avreo is the only RIS/PACS solution that offered all these features within one database. We were able to reduce costs by using one system, however, our biggest success is that our radiologists can be at one center and seamlessly pull images, reports and patient data which saves a tremendous amount of resources and allows them to have a more efficient workflow.”
Tower Diagnostic Center is Tampa Bay’s largest physician owned and operated out-patient radiology practice. Tower is the only facility in Tampa Bay designated the Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. “We are excited to expand our RIS/PACS implementation at Tower Diagnostic Center and to provide the facility with the tools they needed to help them manage their growing business,” said John Sloan, CEO of Avreo.
Avreo’s interWORKS also offers an FDA approved mammography viewer that allows hospitals and imaging centers to enhance capabilities and save additional costs. The FDA certification means you need only one workstation and the mammography studies can be stored with all the other images. This capability is much more efficient for radiologists and also allows referring physicians to access the mammograms directly from their office. “We continue to strive for meaningful product improvements at Avreo”, states John Sloan, CEO of Avreo. “Having a fully integrated, FDA approved mammography viewer has allowed our customers to not only improve workflow efficiencies but also save real dollars on their bottom line. We are pleased to have earned the confidence of imaging centers like Tower Diagnostic Center and we look forward to supporting them in their efforts to reduce costs and improve operational goals.”
