MagView delivers a “mini-RIS” mammography information system, providing
DICOM broker services to digital acquisition stations and results distribution
of all referring physician reports and patient letters. Pacific
Breast Care is a private practice, co-owned by Dr. Lynda Frye, a fellowship-trained
mammographer, and Dr. Alice Police, a dedicated breast surgeon. Pacific
Breast Care is Orange County’s only comprehensive breast center
that is solely dedicated to breast health services.
When Pacific Breast Care began searching for technology partners in 2007
for their state-of-the-art, dedicated breast center, they committed to
having the best equipment and software available. MagView was honored
to be chosen by Pacific Breast Care as their mammography information system.
The biggest challenge Pacific Breast Care faced was the need to communicate
across multiple technologies -- digital acquisition stations, scheduling
software, billing software – without having a dedicated RIS system.
MagView was able to deliver a mini-RIS solution, gapping the communication
barrier across their different systems. “MagView gives us RIS-like
capabilities at a fraction of the cost,” notes co-owner Dr. Police.
MagView’s DICOM module acts as a broker for their modality workstations,
without the expense of a third party broker. Diane Rinella,
lead technologist, explains, “We place orders in MagView, and those
studies immediately show up on our acquisition station worklists.”
MagView was able to build custom interfaces between Pacific Breast Care’s
existing scheduling and billing software. “MagView was the only
vendor we found that could receive demographics from our billing software,
and pass back important coding and billing data,” notes Dr. Frye.
At Pacific Breast Care, MagView is used to result 100% of all breast
imaging studies and interventional procedures through its Autoscribe©
mouse-driven templates. Dr. Frye used MagView at her previous hospital,
and was very familiar with its flexibility and robust structured results
module. Explains Dr. Frye, “MagView allows me to create complicated
results with just a few mouse clicks. MagView eliminates transcription
and dictation system costs, and the results turn-around-time is instantaneous.”
Dr. Frye also appreciates that MagView reduces redundant patient tracking,
“MagView automatically captures all MQSA tracking information
from my report, which virtually eliminates human error, and that gives
me peace of mind.”
