Benefits of the SMARTRAD cloud-based radiology solution
- INFINITT RIS and PACS is the world leading RIS and PACS solution as per the latest international independent KLAS report.
- One of the fundamental differences between INFINITT and other solutions is that INFINITT has combined RIS and PACS into a seamless solution running off a single Oracle database. Due to Continuum Systems offering a shared infrastructure and licensing, small radiology practices can enjoy enterprise level services.
- This single system allows for other key advantages:
- No Integration requirements between systems
- Automatic continuity between RIS information and image information
- Changing information at reception instantly updates image information
- Ability to present RIS information and documents directly in the PACS
- Reduced maintenance and infrastructure overheads INFINITT RIS / PACS is an international product with a strong track history in the market. By working closely with the strong team of INFINITT developers we have totally customised the data capture and workflow to suit the unique South African Market.
- Continuum Systems therefore has a powerful product that conforms to the local billing methods and patient capture, but also has superior features and stability of an international product. One of the key features which sets this solution apart is the capability of having a unique patient and guarantor ID across multiple sites due to the single database system.
- Our unique INFINITT RIS runs on a pure web based platform, allowing a centralised environment where you can login from anywhere making this optimum for a multi-site practice.
- This technology also allows INFINITT RIS to run off a cloud environment or locally hosted servers.
- With processing and archiving done remotely, at CONTINUUM’s secure data centre, INFINITT’s cloud solution addresses workflow, IT integration and support issues, as well as report and image distribution to referring physicians all in one package.
- The cloud-based Electronic Claim Transactions use an authorised interface to the medical aids which provides the “switch” service for Continuum Systems. This service consists of: membership validation, benefit check, claims submission and management as well as electronic remittance. Designed specifically for radiology healthcare transaction interchange, the MediSwitch service is the performance benchmark for health information exchange in the South African healthcare industry
- The SMARTRad system caters for live integration between the INFINITT system and the billing engine. The key benefit of the billing engine is that it allows real time invoicing, claims submission, and receipting once again setting the Continuum Systems solution ahead of the pack
SMARTRad, Continuum Systems Cloud-based PACS RIS and Billing provides radiologists and referring doctors with a complete cloud-based infrastructure on a pay-as-you go basis, where the cost of the service is always in line with the revenue stream.
