4 ImageGrid for Community / Regional Hospitals ImageGrid image management and workflow optimization solutions are ideal and the most cost-effective solutions for Community / Regional Hospitals, either as a replacement RIS/PACS or a first-time implementation. ImageGrid provides extensive capabilities at the lowest TCO, thereby allowing hospitals to allocate more funds towards purchasing the latest modalities for better patient care. For Community / Regional Hospitals looking at implementing a second or third generation solution, ImageGrid often costs less than the annual maintenance contract of the existing solution. At many Community / Regional Hospitals, radiologists require the flexibility to read on-site or via remote access. Equipped with powerful and customizable worklist tools, ImageGrid s web-enabled visualization solutions for both Radiology and Mammography improve radiologist productivity and reduce turnaround time for reading and reporting. Access to studies is optimized through automated rule-based pre-fetching of relevant priors, designed specifically to provide radiologists with all the information necessary for efficient diagnosis and reporting. Many Community / Regional Hospitals may also rely on third-party teleradiology service providers for off-hours reading. ImageGrid s powerful and highly customizable DICOM Routing Engine allows for the automated, efficient and timely routing of studies to any number of destinations. Routing rules can be defined as broadly or as narrowly as desired to optimize workflow and can furthermore be scheduled to occur at the appropriate times. ImageGrid s RIS functionalities provide for the automation and optimization of a hospital's radiology operations. The web-enabled application captures the entire workflow from patient registration to final report delivery. ImageGrid can be integrated with the hospital s EMR or HIS via HL7 to further streamline operations and ensure consistency of patient records. ImageGrid also provides hospitals Front Office Modalities Remote Access Referring Physicians Web-based Viewing with the ability to easily back-up their data for compliance with HIPAA. The options for automated data back-up include the automated routing of all data to an off-site ImageGrid Disaster Recovery RAID Archive or replication to ASTRA.

5 Multi-Location, Multi-Physician and Multi-Modality Diagnostic Imaging Centers Facility A Facility B Bi-directional Replication (VPN) ImageGrid is the ideal and most cost-effective solution for multilocation, multi-physician and multi-modality Diagnostic Imaging Centers and clinics. Any number of modalities at any number of locations can easily send images and patient data to their respective ImageGrid storage/server system for archiving and subsequent routing (push and pull) to/from workstations on the local area network (LAN) or between different locations securely, either via ASTRA or through Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. Radiologists have diagnostic viewing capability from anywhere via the various ImageGrid web-enabled viewers. The integrated web-enabled RIS automates the workflow between all locations and enables access to patient records and data from any of the sites. A bi-directional automated routing policy allows for two ImageGrid systems to perform back-up of all studies efficiently during off-hours to optimize bandwidth utilization between locations. In this scenario, each facility has a full-scale ImageGrid on-site and ImageGrid s intelligent software manages the flow of data between facilities based on rules and guidelines. A fully integrated optional web-based DICOM viewer can also provide referring physicians with non-diagnostic viewing capabilities as well as access to reports for their respective patients. Single Location Multi-Modality Diagnostic Imaging Centers and Clinics ImageGrid is the ideal and most cost-effective solution for singlelocation, multi-modality Diagnostic Imaging Centers and clinics. Any number of modalities can easily send images to ImageGrid for archiving and subsequent routing (push and pull) to and from workstations on the network. Radiologists have diagnostic viewing capability from anywhere via the various ImageGrid web-enabled viewers. The integrated, web-enabled RIS provides for automation of the entire workflow. referring physicians with non-diagnostic viewing capabilities. And now, all referring physician needs from report and key image viewing through study visualization can be supported through ASTRA. HIPAA mandates duplicate copies of patient files including imaging studies; to support that requirement, studies can be automatically replicated to ASTRA or to a second ImageGrid deployed at a secure off-site location. In either case, the rule of law is satisfied automatically, with almost no user intervention. A fully integrated optional web-based DICOM viewer can also provide
