PG 02M I C R O S O F T A M A LG A R I S / PA C SAn integrated imaging and workflowsystem that gives you vision.M I C R O S O F T A M A LG A R I S / PA C SPG 03Microsoft Amalga RIS/PACS is an integrated Radiology Information System (RIS) andPicture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) that is available as a stand-aloneimaging system or a seamlessly integrated component of the Microsoft Amalga HospitalInformation System (HIS). Amalga RIS/PACS consolidates a hospital’s entire collection ofmedical imaging and integrates it with sophisticated workflow for radiology. Whetherintegrated with the patient electronic medical record (EMR) and other hospital systems orinstalled as a stand-alone system, RIS/PACS gives radiologists and clinicians the tools tomake fast, informed diagnoses and more confident clinical decisions.Featuring a single user interface, the award-winning Amalga RIS/PACS enables teleradiologyamong multiple sites to provide quick access to digital images, intuitive image manipulationand built-in diagnostic tools—all designed for the way radiologists prefer to work. The system’swide-area PACS is built on interconnected, site-specific servers rather than a central databaseresult in minimum downtime and easy, seamless shared access across multiple sites and teams.Increased accuracyStandardisation supportIntegrated systems reduce transcription errors, eliminateThe format-agnostic system supports all image file types andduplication of data and prevent overlap in reporting,includes a DICOM work list to enable consistent DICOM dataoptimising the information clinicians have to work with.entry for image files.Enhanced efficiencyPowerful tools at your fingertipsFast image retrieval time, full access to a complete databaseIntegrated 3-D image rendering, image manipulation andof current and historical images, advanced ability to mark upan HL7 engine to support interfaces with third-party analysisand display preferred image collections and fast and intuitivetools make it possible for radiologists to work easily in onenavigation streamline clinician processes to make their workspace, without juggling multiple applications and hardware.go faster.Substantially reduced costsFilmless digital imaging eliminates substantial supply costs,frees up staff and reduces the need for space to store andmanage film records.
