The strategic alliance formed between Pro Medicus and Agfa is the most significant partnership to shape Digital Imaging in Australia. Pro Medicus' nineteen year history of success, experience and proven systems ability now combines with the global strength of Agfa's Impax system to provide a single RIS-PACS product.

The tight integration between a RIS and PACS is a critical feature in a digital strategy. The Pro Medicus RIS creates and stores clinical letters and reports, holds demographics data and drives workflow management. In a digital radiology environment the information form the RIS must be linked to image capture and clinical reporting [radiologist workflow].

The Pro Medicus RIS is the glue that holds the Digital practice together

Accordingly, the tighter the integration [the stronger the glue] between the RIS and PACS the better the productivity and the lower the error margin.

Pro Medicus has developed a complete and direct integration of our RIS to Impax - resulting in a seamless digital radiology solution. From the moment an appointment is made Pro Medicus' Enterprise Desktop and Agfa's Impax act as one united system providing the ultimate in efficiency from the radiology front desk through to the report reaching the referrer.

This combination offers you a truly integrated product with a single point of support - providing obvious advantages for all practices.
