The new Vision Series Financials platform will be combined with AMICAS' world-class, Web-based RIS and PACS to create a unique radiology automation solution. Vision Series Financials will also be integrated with other AMICAS revenue cycle management modules, including Insight Dashboards(TM) for business intelligence, Insight Services(TM) for streamlined collections, and Vision Series Document Management for "paperless" workflow operations.
"Because of DRA, ambulatory imaging businesses are in great need of a billing platform that leverages modern technologies to highly automate their imaging operations," said Peter McClennen, president and COO of AMICAS. "AMICAS' investment in a Windows-based billing platform like Vision Series Financials -- when combined with our 30 years of experience in medical billing -- is all about helping our customers grow, run, and optimize their radiology operations with maximum efficiency. We believe that the AMICAS technology platform is the best in the industry for streamlining revenue cycle management."
In addition to launching Vision Series Financials, AMICAS' full portfolio of imaging IT solutions for hospitals and ambulatory imaging businesses will be on display at RBMA.
These solutions include:
* Vision Series PACS is an industry leading Web-based PACS that represents
years of customer feedback matched with one of the industry's most
innovative engineering teams. Vision Series PACS is designed to deliver
unmatched functionality and productivity to radiologists, radiology
staff, IT support staff, and referring physicians.
* Vision Series RIS, which utilizes a modern Web-based architecture,
provides attractive benefits to ambulatory care practices, imaging
centers, and radiology group practices. Continuing to receive accolades
from customers and prospects alike, this intuitive, robust solution
supports an entirely new level of productivity and workflow management.
* Insight Dashboards is a Web-based business intelligence platform that
provides access to customized, easy-to-read graphical data for key
performance metrics and indicators. AMICAS customers can leverage the

solution that is designed to streamline workflow, reduce expenses, and
facilitate compliance with the privacy and security guidelines mandated

* Vision Reach, designed with the referring physician in mind, uses the
latest Web-based technologies to integrate the radiology report with key
images to create a single "multi-media" report. This solution delivers
