Nine months after the implementation of Exa PACS (picture archiving and communication system) from Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas Inc., a Grand Rapids, Mich.-based teleradiology provider and one of the state’s largest radiology imaging suppliers, has significantly increased volume and productivity. According to Radiology Imaging Solutions, this has generated a significant return on its healthcare information technology (IT) investment. The company has doubled the number of imaging sites its radiologists are providing reading services for.
