Midwest Orthopaedic Institute selects secureRAD

Midwest Orthopaedic Institute is an orthopaedic center of excellence with sub-specialty trained surgeons, rheumatologists, podiatrists and sports medicine experts, providing best-in-class medical care in Sycamore, Illinois. It is also the team practice of the Northern Illinois University (NIU) Huskies. When faced with the challenge of choosing a PACS vendor who could deliver a world-class imaging workflow solution at an economical price, they chose secureRAD and its suite of solutions.secureRAD developed its suite of medical imaging solutions around open source software in order to limit research and development overhead and provide cost-effective solutions to its customers. This same approach has been used by some of the world’s most successful IT companies, including RedHat (Nasdaq: RHEL). securePACS, an image storage and viewing platform, was built from the ground up with user-friendliness and reliability in mind. secureCLOUD, a “hosted” image storage and review platform, located at secureRAD’s SAS 70 Type II compliant data center, provides nearline, offsite disaster recovery backup for its customers and provides the ability for medical images stored there to be accessed anywhere in the world, with ease.

Since implementing securePACS and secureCLOUD, practitioners at Midwest Orthopaedic Institute can easily access imaging studies acquired on their MRI scanners and X-ray equipment from the exam room, operating room, surgery center and abroad. The securePACS medical image archive was designed with scalability in mind, retaining tens of thousands of patient studies, with potential to easily grow to store hundreds of thousands. With streamlined access to patient imaging, including present and prior studies, the provider’s overall efficiency is increased.

secureRAD understands how to evaluate its customer’s needs and deliver solutions that are “timeless,” perfect for today’s current needs and easily scalable to be perfect to support tomorrow’s growth. “By implementing a variety of products and solutions, secureRAD has been able to meet all our imaging needs,” said Thom Gearhart.
