Pittsburgh Mercy Health System Implements
Dynamic Imaging's IntegradWeb® PACS

Customized Enterprise PACS Designed to Fit Mercy's Distributed Access Needs

Allendale, NJ, February 27, 2006 — Dynamic Imaging, an established leader in Web-based image and information management, announced today that it was recently selected by Pittsburgh Mercy Health System to implement IntegradWeb PACS across its health care enterprise. Based upon current implementation milestones, Pittsburgh Mercy Health System will go live with IntegradWeb PACS on March 31, 2006.

Pittsburgh Mercy Health System has a reputation for excellence that has helped it remain a health care leader for more than 150 years. IntegradWeb PACS will support its busy four-site enterprise that delivers over 145,000 annual radiology procedures. The facilities included in the deployment are The Mercy Hospital of Pittsburgh and the SmartHealth Outpatient Center in Green Tree. Many of the system’s radiology procedures are performed on 16- and 40-slice computed tomography (CT) scanners, which the system recently installed to provide the most advanced imaging technology. IntegradWeb PACS will allow Pittsburgh Mercy Health System to seamlessly manage these digital CT procedures, maximizing the system’s efficiency in interpreting large multislice CT studies and enabling it to use the CT scanners’ full range of sophisticated capabilities.

IntegradWeb PACS will also integrate with Pittsburgh Mercy Health System’s Siemens Novius Radiology Information System, providing patient orders and results to PACS for automated study validation and optimized workflow throughout the enterprise. Furthermore, clinicians will be able to gain access to their patients’ entire medical histories, to include radiology results and images, via IntegradWeb PACS’ integration to Siemens’ Lifetime Clinical Record (LCR).

Steve Adams, Pittsburgh Mercy Health System’s vice president and chief information officer, said, “Mercy is committed to high-quality patient care using the latest available technology. Dynamic Imaging’s IntegradWeb will allow us to provide our patients with the most technologically advanced care possible. We selected Dynamic Imaging because of their reputation for solid support services and their ability to customize a system to fit our needs.”

Pittsburgh Mercy Health System’s John R. Baker, M.D., Ph.D., an endovascular surgical neuroradiologist, is one of the systems’ most vocal PACS champions. He will access PACS at Mercy’s flagship institution, Mercy Hospital, and will remotely interpret exams over the Web using the most advanced embedded 3D features that can be used for on-call reading, even at home. Once the 3D reconstructions have been completed, a single click will append the reconstructed 3D images or movies to the original study for immediate viewing by all authorized users. This places 3D interpretation squarely in the middle of radiology workflow, delivering the highest caliber of results reporting to Pittsburgh Mercy Health System’s referring physicians.

“Pittsburgh Mercy Health System’s commitment to the latest technology is a huge factor in its continued success. IntegradWeb PACS will allow them to continue that tradition,” said Alex Jurovitsky, Dynamic Imaging’s chief executive officer. “We’re thrilled to bring our PACS technology to one of the most established and respected health systems in Pittsburgh.”
