Ridgefield, CT (PRWEB) November 28, 2005



CoActiv Medical Business Solutions, today announced that Grossmont Imaging, LLC, a joint venture between the X-Ray Medical Group, Inc of San Diego and the San Diego Sharp Grossmont Hospital, has chosen CoActiv EXAM-PACS® for their picture archiving and communications system. Grossmont Imaging will install the EXAM-PACS enterprise solution at two new imaging centers, Grossmont Imaging – Flechter Parkway and Grossmont Imaging – Santee, in San Diego, CA.



“We selected EXAM-PACS because it provides us with the latest medical digital imaging technology to link our new imaging centers, at a price we can afford,” states Keith Solinsky, Chief Operating Officer of X-Ray Medical Group, Inc. CoActiv EXAM-PACS is an enterprise PACS solution that is especially suited for a multi-site imaging practice with several remote locations because exams can be instantly and easily routed to sub-specialty radiologists, regardless of location. “CoActiv was able to offer a complete solution, including redundant on-line and off-site archiving, automatic CD burning, an incredible referring doctor solution and the best multi-site functionality that we were able to find,” continues Mr. Solinsky.



CoActiv EXAM-PACS offers a “100% up-time” archiving service level agreement (SLA) through their unique “Quad-Redundant” EXAM-Vault® archiving service, where exams are saved four times in four locations. This feature, along with the patent pending EXAM-Sender® Referring Physician Solution that sends exams to remote locations and the EXAM-Filer® CD Burning Solution that automatically creates Exam CDs for patients and referring physicians, make up the EXAM-PACS software suite. The flexibility of these PACS components and the affordable price tag of EXAM-PACS make it an appealing option for imaging centers looking for a versatile and cost-efficient digital image management solution.



“We found CoActiv at RSNA 2004 and we were blown away by their breadth of features and their grasp of imaging technology,” states Dr. Ross Schwartzberg, a senior Neuro-Radiologist with the group. “I believe that we looked at every major PACS product over the past year, had scores of demonstrations, and we even had a “PACS Shootout” at Sharp Hospital earlier this year, and nobody even came close to EXAM-PACS.”



“We went up against the biggest and the best in this year-long PACS acquisition process in San Diego, visited their site several times and were able to prevail by offering an affordable solution that was flexible and powerful enough to meet their demanding requirements,” states Ed Heere, President of CoActiv Medical Business Solutions. “We are confident that the Grossmont Imaging sites will become a showcase location for CoActiv, providing a strong base from which we can launch our planned West Coast sales initiative in 2006,” states Mr. Heere.
