Northwest Primary Care, physician-owned practice in southeast Portland, announced that it will install the IMPAX picture archiving and communication system (PACS), supplied by Sage healthcare Div., Tampa, Fla. The practice will use the IMPAX medical imaging system to extend its existing Sage Intergy practice management and EHR system.
Michael Whitbeck, Northwest Primary Care administrator, said that PACS system will allow its radiologists and physicians to have direct access to the film from the record, either on or off site; and will decrease the need for redeveloping images related to over and under exposed film. Northwest Primary Care has four locations throughout southeast Portland.
