Empiric Systems Partners With Software Engineering Corporation (SENCOR) to Offer Integrated PACS/RIS Solution

Software Engineering Corporation (SENCOR) and Empiric Systems have partnered to combine SENCOR's PACS solution and Empiric's RIS solution. This enables a medical facility to interoperate their billing (RIS) and imaging (PACS) systems as one.

Minneapolis, Minnesota - January 28, - SENCOR today announced an agreement with Empiric Systems to provide medical archive and web viewing software for Empiric Systems web-based radiology information system. The announcement coincides with the 2002 Annual Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference in Atlanta, GA.

Mark Janas, BSRT, MBA, Empiric Systems' Executive Director, said, that SENCOR's suite of medical archiving and viewing solutions offers the functionality he was looking for to complement Empiric's RIS product. "Our business strategy is based on the ability to deliver quality, integrated, and cost-effective PACS/RIS technologies for imaging facilities of all sizes, particularly those that could not otherwise afford these solutions. SENCOR's technology will allow us to better meet the needs of those clients."

John Paumen, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at SENCOR, commented, "Empiric Systems has very innovative technology for management of the radiology department, and we are pleased to be part of their solution. They have the experience and expertise to deliver their unique products and services."
