This partnership will allow AMICAS, Inc. to apply its medical image and information management tools as part of RIA's customer service and outpatient growth initiatives.

"RIA is impressed with AMICAS' understanding of the complexities in delivering consistent, quality service in an outpatient imaging business," said Ed Field, director of outpatient services at RIA. "We researched many other options and felt AMICAS, Inc. was the best partner to help us achieve our goal of delivering better customer service and more integrated systems support."

Under the terms of the agreement, RIA will utilize new modular, Web-based technology to customize an integrated scheduling, billing, marketing, and tracking system. Included in the partnership deal are AMICAS Vision Series RIS, Vision Reach„ Insight Dashboards, and Vision Series Document Management solutions.

"We are very pleased to take our partnership with RIA to the next level," said Stephen Kahane MD, president, chief executive officer, and chairman of AMICAS, Inc. "RIA is one of the largest and most advanced radiology groups in the country but can benefit greatly from smarter, more integrated automation of its practice. At the same time, AMICAS, Inc. will learn from RIA and continue to refine our understanding of radiology businesses' needs as we continue to develop high performance automation solutions."
