Agfa HealthCare, a leading provider of IT-enabled clinical workflow and diagnostic imaging solutions, announces today that it has introduced its IMPAX® Enterprise Productivity Suite (EPS), a new offering that helps increase radiologists’ productivity by managing diagnostic reading and reporting across distributed PACS environments. IMPAX EPS will be featured at the Radiology Business Management Association (RBMA) Radiology Summit, being held May 4 – 7, 2008, at the Las Vegas Hilton in Las Vegas, NV (U.S.A).

Agfa HealthCare's IMPAX EnterpriseProductivity Suite (EPS) is designed to helpimprove the radiologists' overall efficiency bycreating an Enterprise Worklist for coordinating reporting activity across distributed sites over a wide area network (WAN).

"The healthcare industry is challenged by a combination of digital imaging growth and a shortage of radiologists. Agfa's IMPAX EPS helps combat that by providing access to an enterprise-wide worklist and by allowing reporting tasks to be assigned across multiple sites," said Al Dyer, Agfa Healthcare's Ambulatory Care Solutions Manager. "With an efficient, user-friendly and intuitive interface, IMPAX EPS provides the flexibility and functionality to handle staffing shortages by effectively focusing on balancing work amongst distributed radiology resources."

IMPAX EPS can also help radiologists decrease report turnaround time, while helping facilities reduce costs, increase productivity and optimize resource utilization without increasing staff.
