The Origin Radiology Information System (RIS) is based on years of research and a commitment to flexible, best-of-breed, and affordable solutions. Origin manages patients, handles referrals over the web, maintains medical records — including documents, forms, dictations, and images — and administers finances in one seamless package. It forms the technological foundation for an efficient, state-of-the-art, and cost-effective imaging medical practice.

Health care facilities that use Origin use only Origin. For example, members of Harris Corporation’s self-paid medical benefit plan are cared for completely through Origin in primary care and medical imaging facilities in Melbourne, Florida.

With Origin, features that often require separate products — digital dictation, medical imaging, Web presence — are integrated seamlessly. Even custom functionality feels right at home: a specialized mammography tracker designed for University Center Imaging in Melbourne, Florida was praised by an FDA inspector as the best he’d ever seen.
