Intelerad Set to Expand Clinical Decision Support
Offerings
Toronto-based group will develop solutions that provide key data and analytics to radiology
staff
Denver, Colorado and Montreal, Canada – June 7, 2013 – Intelerad Medical Systems, a leader in medical
imaging PACS, RIS and workflow solutions, today announced the formation of a new Clinical Decision Support
(CDS) Group. The Toronto-based group is made up of developers who will focus on adding evidence-based
decision support and data mining features to Intelerad’s solution portfolio.
“With dozens, even hundreds, of radiologists using a single Intelerad system across distributed networks and
geographies, there are significant opportunities to adaptively optimize productivity and utilization,” said Rick
Rubin, Intelerad’s Chief Engineering Officer. “Our CDS group will address our clients’ challenges by
developing technology that provides decision support, automation and transparency to the processes used to
manage radiology services in large-scale organizations.”
As part of their mandate, Intelerad’s CDS Group will develop solutions that not only benefit radiologists, but all
medical imaging professionals:
For radiologists, the CDS Group will work on the integration of intelligent worklists to optimally balance
reading demand with reading capabilities across the enterprise. They will also work on decision
support tools that leverage report data mining to improve patient outcomes, compliance, and
reimbursements while reducing litigation risk.
For support staff (department managers, PACS admins, quality managers, etc.), the CDS Group will
work on the development of real-time dashboards, data visualization and analytics to support
continuous improvement initiatives.
“The mandate of the CDS Group is to deliver efficiency to the stakeholders being served by Intelerad’s
solutions or relying on their services,” said Frederic Lachmann, Vice-President of Intelerad’s CDS Group.
“Ultimately, our goal is to improve patient outcomes by walking the analytics continuum from descriptive to
predictive and prescriptive analytics, and developing decision models that can be integrated into Intelerad
solutions. Such tools will not only strengthen the bonds between radiologist and clinician, it should create
opportunities for Intelerad to grow beyond just imaging.”
