INFINITT North America adds ED Notes functionality; new features and applications extend the clinical usefulness of PACS across the enterprise
PHILLIPSBURG, NJ — February 12, 2009 - INFINITT North America, a technology leader in
web-based RIS/PACS and advanced visualization solutions, has been adding new features and
applications to the INFINITT PACS, extending its clinical usefulness across the enterprise.
ED Notes functionality allows ED physicians and technologists to include comments and
questions when sending images to the radiologist, and enables the radiologist to include his
notes in response. This can be especially valuable during off hours, when the radiologist
interprets the exam from home or when the attending physician is not available the following
day.
Every department in the hospital that uses medical images has its own workflow and
access/distribution requirements. In the ED, where approximately 64% of all patients require
diagnostic imaging services, accuracy, time savings and communication with the diagnostician
are of high importance. Infinitt’s ED Notes feature adds convenience and a greater degree of
confidence for the radiologist interpreting images.
Infinitt’s ED Notes module also streamlines reporting with checkboxes and radio buttons, and
provides Note Tracking and Note Statistics functionality. The radiologist can indicate a
discrepancy between his assessment and the clinician’s with one simple mouse click, bringing it
to others’ immediate attention and enabling an administrator to track the results of discrepancies.
INFINITT, a dedicated RIS/PACS company, has gone beyond the management, archiving and
distribution of images. By adding features and user-friendly tool sets for specific applications, the
INFINITT PACS has evolved into an enterprise clinical tool.
In the last year INFINITT has introduced PACS software modules to improve workflow,
visualization and diagnosis in Digital Mammography, CT Colonoscopy, Cardiac imaging, Lung
nodule detection, and Fusion Imaging. These application-specific software packages deliver both
patient care benefits and greater radiologist and staff productivity.
