St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center Selects
Dynamic Imaging IntegradWeb PACS

Cites Web-driven capabilities and customer service as key

February 14, 2005, Allendale, NJ — St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center (Smithtown, NY), a 311-bed hospital offering a full range of advanced medical and surgical care, has selected Dynamic Imaging's IntegradWeb PACS to meet the needs of its fast-paced radiology department and enable efficient communications beyond the enterprise.

St. Catherine will rely on IntegradWeb to provide its radiologists with streamlined access to studies and complete PACS functionality on its hospital-based workstations as well as at a range of off-site locations. Ultra-fast, efficient communications with referring physicians and other specialists both on- and off-site also was a key goal of the installation.

"We provide a wide range of radiology services to our community. We needed a PACS solution that would enable us to provide precise diagnoses to referring physicians and their patients as efficiently as possible," says Matthew Rifkin, MD, chief of radiology at St. Catherine. "We chose IntegradWeb because we felt that its open Web-driven architecture provided the best platform to achieve our goals."

The hospital also felt IntegradWeb's open Web-based architecture would allow the PACS to evolve and grow with the hospital into the future, making the most of its technology investment.

St. Catherine of Siena is the third member hospital of Catholic Health Services of Long Island (CHSLI) to select IntegradWeb PACS. CHSLI comprised of five hospitals, three nursing homes, a regional home care and hospice network and a community based agency for persons with special needs.

"The success of our existing PACS installations at the Catholic Health Services hospital system has lead to a growing partnership with the organization," comments Alex Jurovitsky, CEO of Dynamic Imaging. "IntegradWeb technology has met their image management and communications needs across the enterprise and beyond, and our ongoing commitment to customer service has helped Catholic Health Services hospitals make the most of their transition to digital radiology. We are gratified that they have continued to take advantage of their relationship with our organization."
