Clear Innova Launches Innovative Radiology Information System

Origin System Improves Radiology Workflow & Automates Time-Consuming Clerical
Tasks
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Clear Innova today announced the launch of a next-generation radiology
information system (RIS) that will serve as an efficient, cost-effective
practice management solution for imaging centers and hospital radiology
departments.

The affordable Origin RIS seamlessly integrates a number of key features and
capabilities that typically require the piecing together of separate products.
The system`s unified platform handles patient scheduling, maintains electronic
medical records-including documents, forms, dictation, and images-and provides a
comprehensive billing module with a "Code Suggester" for faster and more
efficient billing and payments.

The comprehensive system also helps radiology centers and hospitals build
stronger relationships with referring physicians and provides an opportunity to
market new imaging services. "Better service builds loyalty," said Shane
Yaghmai, chief executive officer of Clear Innova. "The Origin System makes it
simple for referring physicians to order and schedule imaging studies, check the
status of orders, and obtain reports from any location via a Web browser-with no
phone calls, faxing, or paperwork to slow them down. Busy referring physicians
appreciate working with centers that streamline workflow."

According to Yaghmai, the system also helps centers market new imaging services
and capabilities. "Referring physicians access the system through the imaging
center or hospital Web site or a separate portal," he said. "This process
provides the opportunity to highlight new or upgraded imaging technologies, such
as the addition of a new MRI system."

The Origin System has been extensively tested at several sites, including
University Center Imaging, a large radiology practice in Melbourne, Fla., that
performs nearly 45,000 imaging studies each year. "In radiology practice today,
every second counts," said Jenny Marshall, operations director at University
Center Imaging. "The Origin System allows our practice to operate at maximum
efficiency-our radiologists are able to focus on reading and evaluating imaging
studies, rather than being distracted by paperwork. Origin has supported us
every step of the way, and the company customized the system to meet our
specific requirements."

Yaghmai said that the workflow efficiencies provided by the Origin System allow
radiology centers and departments to grow without adding staff-a key benefit in
today`s cost-conscious healthcare environment. The Origin System was developed
by Medaxis Corp. and is distributed by Clear Innova, which is seeking additional
distribution partners for the product.
