YPSILANTI, MI - April 2007 – The Orlando location of AmeriPath, a leading national provider of cancer diagnostics, genomics, and related information services, recently became the company’s sixth laboratory to install Freedom Imaging Systems’ RICAR (Record Image Capture And Retrieval) software solution. As one of the nation’s leading data management and solutions developers, Freedom created RICAR to put healthcare and other organizations in control of their data and adopt a virtually paperless work environment via an electronic records system.
The Orlando installation is part of an eventual enterprise-wide rollout at AmeriPath, with the ultimate goal to help the organization dramatically improve productivity, revenue and customer satisfaction outcomes. The Orlando lab joins AmeriPath’s Tennessee (PCA Southeast), Indiana (Indianapolis), South Florida (Pompano Beach), Dallas and Denver locations in “going digital” with RICAR. Ultimately, RICAR will be installed at more than 50 AmeriPath locations, beginning with its regional labs and continuing with its satellite locations.
Upon completion of this latest RICAR installation, AmeriPath’s Orlando employees will be able to access sensitive lab data and critical business information with just a few clicks from their PC desktop. In addition, they can instantly retrieve data using a number of “look-up” criteria, and quickly and easily archive documents (both short-term and long-term), sort and resort them, and transfer them between multiple departments and locations. The result is a streamlined billing process, heightened productivity, faster turnaround time and the avoidance of costly billing errors.
