ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 8 — Carestream Health, Inc., and Technology Partners, Inc. (dba IMAGINE Software), have signed a co-marketing agreement that enables Technology Partners’ IMAGINEradiologyTM billing solution to be integrated with CARESTREAM RIS/PACS platforms. This solution will help facilitate rapid and accurate billing of imaging procedures, and eliminates the need to incorporate a third-party billing system or set up a process to transfer data to a separate billing system.
Carestream Health’s RIS manages all aspects of radiology workflow from the order of an imaging exam to exam reading and results reporting, while its PACS manages, distributes and stores imaging studies from a variety of modalities. The IMAGINEradiologyTM system streamlines the billing and collections process for radiology service providers. Both company’s products help improve staff productivity and workflow, and can help healthcare providers enhance profitability.
“Integrating IMAGINEradiologyTM with CARESTREAM RIS/PACS benefits our customers by enabling them to enhance the speed and accuracy of their billing procedures.” said Diana L. Nole, President, Digital Medical Solutions, Carestream Health. “As costs rise and reimbursements decline, an efficient billing solution plays an increasingly important role in the successful operation of radiology services.”
“The integration between IMAGINEradiology™ and the CARESTREAM RIS/PACS allows Carestream Health to provide a state-of-the-art, end-to-end solution to its customers,” said Sam Khashman, President and CEO, Technology Partners. “We look forward to partnering with a team that shares our commitment to customer service and innovation.”
As part of the agreement, each company also will promote the products of the other to hospital radiology departments, imaging centers, physician practices and other healthcare providers.
