Neurostar Solutions introduces a range of enhancements to its Virtual Radiology Network (VRN) platform that make it the most effective and complete clinical and business management solution for today's outsourced radiology firms and the clients they serve.

Debuting at RSNA is Neurostar's Virtual Practice Management (VPM) package for providers of offsite radiology reading.  Developed to streamline business operations, VPM features include:

Also new is a unique Cross-Enterprise Data Access (CEDA) architecture, which allows individual sites ultra-fast access to recent studies and enables users with appropriate permissions to access prior exams and other patient data from any site in their business network.  This includes third party PACS applications.

CEDA expands the VRN's storage beyond its central offsite archive to include satellite cache systems and third party archives at all sites in a service provider's network.  The VRN intelligently locates the desired study, wherever stored, and delivers it to the user.  At the same time, the VRN can store recent images onsite to streamline retrieval and manage storage to maximize IT resources.

Onsite gateways with caching involve minimal hardware and are cost-effective to set up and maintain, supporting the VRN's plug-and-play architecture.

"Our new CEDA architecture is the beginning of an infrastructure that will support universal access of patient health records," comments Willie Tillery, CEO of Neurostar.  "It's an innovative concept that holds tremendous promise for universal access to patient data."

Also announced at RSNA 2007 will be Neurostar's novel 'PACS Insurance' program. By diverting a fraction of their PACS maintenance and upgrade costs, hospitals and imaging centers can now insure the safety of their patient data and access in emergency situations while eliminating future costly migrations of data.
