RamSoft Expands PowerServer RIS/PACS/MU Customer Base in California

RamSoft, a developer of RIS, PACS, and Teleradiology workflow solutions, adds Stockdale Radiology to its roster of clients. Founded by Drs. David Suadi and Gabriel Gelves, Stockdale Radiology is a brand new, state-of-the-art imaging center in Bakersfield, CA offering advanced imaging services to the Central Valley. They selected PowerServer RIS/PACS/MU to manage their workflow and to collect the data required for Meaningful Use Attestation.

Key factors contributing to the selection of PowerServer RIS/PACS/MU included the ability to customize the system to their specific workflow; the automated workflow engine that eliminates unnecessary steps; easy-to-use scheduler; automated report distribution; and physician portal with electronic appointment requests. Additionally, the certified complete EHR designed specifically for radiologists significantly contributed to their decision.

“It was important for us to select a solution that could manage our day-to-day processes while making meaningful use attestation as easy as possible with minimal impact on our workflow,” says Dr. Suadi, owner of Stockdale Radiology. “We appreciate that RamSoft took the time to understand the meaningful use program so they could develop a solution specifically for radiologists.”
