Virtual Radiology and Disaster Recovery
Virtual Radiology Neurostar is changing the way the world utilizes medical image distribution in tomorrow`s radiology department: Many of the radiology interpretations will be done by radiologists working outside of the hospital, the state, and even outside of the United States. Factors for this include the increasingly critical shortage of radiologists; decreasing reimbursement rates, which force providers to look for alternative resources; and HIPAA, which enables providers with the right technologies to attract imaging business. Market pressures are forcing the formation of ``virtual radiology departments`` that link geographically separate resources in real time using new technologies. Neurostar has developed an enabling virtual radiology solution and has begun deploying it to key national customers. Our virtual radiology solution empowers night reading, day reading, and over read groups to expand coverage exponentially. Our technology platform enables multiple hospitals, imaging centers, and even other radiology groups to transmit DICOM quality images quickly and securely to a centralized reading location. Our Virtual Radiology solution expands coverage capabilities quickly and efficiently. Increase productivity Increase workflow efficiency with systems integration i.e. multiple viewers with one server Rapidly increase coverage Decrease turnaround time and offer more aggressive SLAs (service level agreements) Allows multiple radiologists to work together Capital friendly solution with a no risk option Generate new revenue streams MediStar™ Virtual Radiology Product Components MediView™ MediCom™ MediServer™ MediQA™ (optional) MediScan™ (optional) ``Whether you are a small physician`s office or a large hospital with substantial overflow work, your radiology services must be responsive and timely. With the advanced capabilities of Neurostar`s solution, our clients can access a virtual network of qualified radiologists committed to meeting their imaging demands on a timely basis.`` Dr. Frank Ferraro Partner, USTeleradiology. Web Based PACs Our Web-Based PACS solution has been designed to complement your current DICOM Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). Our solution enables you to leverage digital image capabilities by allowing images from any modality to be routed to other DICOM workstations, archives, and printers or viewed on a web browser from any computer with internet access. Our top-tiered and tightly integrated PACS solution has been created to enhance your existing PACS or to give you the ability to develop a PACS if you do not already have one. In addition to distribution capabilities, Neurostar Solutions has developed a comprehensive digital asset (DICOM, HL7, Video, Voice, etc…) archiving system, which provides immediate storage of any digital data type. Although Neurostar`s software can manage your data wherever it is stored, the costs involved in scaling up your on-site archiving can be enormous. To address this need, Neurostar offers a complete hardware and software solution allowing you to benefit from secure and timely access without responsibility for maintenance, staffing, space concerns, or technical obsolescence issues. The Neurostar system is creating substantial market interest by featuring a pay-per-use pricing structure virtually eliminating any up-front capital expenditures. And since the Neurostar system is HIPAA compliant, using the system to manage your existing PACS will also enable your facility to achieve HIPAA compliance without costly expenditures on updated PACS hardware. Our MediStar™ family of products provides the key components of a successful PACS solution including Image Acquisition, Image Registration, Image Autorouting/Pre-fetching, and Image Archiving. Our solution has been developed using DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) standards and protocols that enable communication between virtually any diagnostic imaging equipment regardless of the vendor. MediStar™ Web-Based PACS Product Components MediView™ MediArch™ MediCom™ MediServer™ MediQA™ (optional) MediScan™ (optional) MediSchedule™ MediSecure™ Disaster Recovery The confidentiality, integrity and safety of patient data are not just a good idea - it is the LAW.The age of HIPAA is upon us, and with it are requirements that every organization that maintains HIPAA sensitive information not only takes steps to protect the privacy of the patient data, but also safeguard that information from potential disasters, such as earthquakes, terrorism, or any other risk. Neurostar ensures that your HIPAA sensitive data is protected from loss through implementation of our MediSecure™ enterprise Disaster Recovery System. To be HIPPA compliant, it is absolutely critical that your data is secure and that you have duplicated records off-site. MediSecure™ is a safeguard against the threat of total data loss. MediSecure™ provides a cost-effective means of mass data storage and fast restoration of your data. MediSecure ™ provides a sensible approach to help your organization quickly become HIPAA compliant and give you the peace of mind that you`ve been looking for.

PACS Technology and Tele Radiology Solutions
Before Neurostar Solutions entered the market, PACS technology was used for departmental image management and distribution and teleradiology was used for remote interpretation. These solutions have proven successful in large hospital institutions with 400 beds or more. However, these have not been an attractive solution for smaller hospitals, radiology groups, and imaging centers for the following reasons: Advantages of Neurostar Tele-Radiology Solution Affordable alternative $ Network only requires budget friendly broadband connection (Fractional T1/DSL) Secure transmission enables HIPAA compliance. Multi-site image routing highly efficient Workflow for distributed imaging environments (both PACS and non-PACS) Disaster recovery As one of the major support systems to emergency medicine, demands on radiological services are growing rapidly in accordance with the increased medical care that has shifted to the Emergency Departments. The introduction of broadband imaging technology is favorably impacting the daily work routine of doctors in the field of radiology by creating new ways to organize their professional activities and optimizing accuracy and efficiency. The Neurostar tele-radiology solution simplifies your complex web of point-to-point tele-radiology connections by offering a single web-based communication channel that promises enhanced quality and increased speed for a seamless workflow and an optimized productivity environment.
