DPR, a technology company that delivers intelligent imaging
informatics solutions for the radiology industry, today announced a
new partnership agreement with ClearCanvas Inc., of Toronto, Ontario,
an innovative medical imaging informatics company. The companies will
work together on joint marketing and sales efforts to further
distribute their combined solutions.
DPR develops and sells CaseReader?, an innovative structured reporting
solution for medical imaging professionals. The company's software
automatically populates measurements, images, and other relevant
information into a report based on key diagnostic activities performed
by a Radiologist. The workflow associated with the application is
designed to speed up the reporting process, helping healthcare
professionals to process vast amounts of medical imaging data at a
faster pace. Numerous studies indicate that increased use of medical
imaging as well as widespread adoption of modalities such as Computed
Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which can generate 300
images per exam, place significant productivity restraints on
radiology.
ClearCanvas develops and markets Diagnostic Workstations, Picture
Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS), and Radiology Information
Systems (RIS) allowing medical imaging clinics to work with digital
images. ClearCanvas' solutions deliver a flexible workflow that
includes capabilities to capture, distribute, review, report, and
archive digital images and associated information. The company's
products provide Radiologists, Clinicians, and Technologists with a
variety of advanced diagnostic tools while simplifying system
management for IT Administrators. Clinical Editions of the company's
products have received regulatory clearance from the US FDA and Health
Canada, and European CE Mark is expected by the end of June.
ClearCanvas is also well known for providing open-source software
platforms that are used by medical researchers and OEM companies to
accelerate development timelines and reduce costs.
CaseReader? comes embedded with M*Modal Speech Understanding
technology for both navigation and dictation purposes. This capability
allows healthcare professionals to systematically navigate through
patient studies using voice-driven commands. Direct access to case
templates and CPT codes in the application help to ensure that
reimbursements are maximized for reported exams. With a wide variety
of reporting tools, the application looks to drastically reduce the
potential for errors, lower costs and, while working in collaboration
with the referring physician, save patients' lives. CaseReader? can be
deployed on either a PACS server or in the Cloud.
ClearCanvas' solutions are currently distributed by over 50 resellers
around the world, downloaded by more than 20,000 users, and installed
in over 175 countries. The company's affordably priced software is
deployed and used at world class client sites including the University
Health Network (UHN), Mount Sinai Hospital, Women's College Hospital,
University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, Emory University, and Johns
Hopkins, amongst others.
The companies have previously worked together to tightly integrate
their software into a unified solution. The first CaseReader
installation will be a ClearCanvas site which is expected to become
operational in July. "We are excited to be expanding our relationship
with ClearCanvas," said Steve Douglas, President and CEO of DPR. "An
integrated ClearCanvas and DPR solution will deliver dramatic
radiology post processing analysis and reporting results. Delivering
these important technology efficiencies to both new and established
ClearCanvas customers will create exceptional value and growth for
both companies."
"We are excited by this new opportunity to work further with Steve and
his team at DPR," said Norman Young, President and CEO of ClearCanvas.
"CaseReader is a very powerful solution which provides numerous
benefits over other structured reporting solutions currently on the
market, expediting the reporting process while reducing the potential
for clerical errors. I think that a number of our customers and
resellers will be very interested in DPR's technology."
