UNLV School of Dental Medicine Implements MiPACS Dental Imaging Enterprise and Salud Dental Clinical Information System and Electronic Dental Record (EDR)
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) August 3, 2004 -- Medicor Imaging, a digital imaging and DICOM
solution provider, announced today that the UNLV School of Dental Medicine has
completed a successful install of its MiPACS Dental Imaging Enterprise along
with Two-Ten Health’s Salud Dental Clinical Information System and Electronic
Dental Record (EDR). Two-Ten Health partnered with Medicor Imaging in 2003 to
incorporate its MiPACS Dental Imaging Enterprise into the Salud suite of
products. The combination of these products has helped UNLVSDM lead the way in
becoming one of the only paperless and filmless dental schools in the
world.
In 2002, the UNLV School of Dental Medicine opened its doors to
the residents of Nevada, and by June 2004 quickly found itself to be one of the
only paperless and filmless dental schools in the world. Since this
implementation, UNLVSDM has processed approximately 800 patients since opening
its doors on June 7th and is continuing to utilize this new system in ways that
paper and film-based methodologies did not exist. Two-Ten’s Salud is primarily
integrated through a Citrix environment, so Medicor added support for this
system and realized the major advantages of this implementation. From a
radiology standpoint, students are able to learn multiple uses of digital
radiography, and this is done through integration between Salud and MiPACS
stand-alone applications. These include phosphorous plate scanning and direct
digital capture of intraoral and panoramic images.
“With a vision to
provide the best dental care and a goal to become a paperless and digital dental
school, UNLV looked to Two-Ten Health and Medicor Imaging to provide Salud EDR
and MiPACS Dental Enterprise Solution. We were thoroughly impressed with the
professionalism that was shown between Medicor Imaging and Two-Ten Health in
accomplishing and reaching the goals that were set forth by this university”,
stated Dean Pat Ferrillo. “As we continue to expand our outreach to the
community, we will be moving forward to implement MiPACS and Salud into our
outlying and mobile clinics.”
The MiPACS Dental Imaging Enterprise is an
imaging application that provides a viewing workstation, acquisition workstation
and a storage system all in one. Built in accordance with the DICOM 3.0
standard, MiPACS offers a scalable, device independent and affordable solution
that was once out of reach for the dental industry. Features include support for
more than 16 digital imaging systems; support for intra-oral sensors, intra-oral
cameras, phosphor plates, surgical and histological microscopy, and digital
cameras; storage of MRI and CT; numerous image enhancement tools, and
integration to Clinical Information Systems.
Gregg Nicks, Executive
Account Manager of Medicor Imaging, stated, “Medicor Imaging was delighted to be
part of the first paperless and digital dental university in the US, and we
would have not been successful without our partnership with Two-Ten Health. We
wanted to provide UNLVSDM the most optimal, scalable and reliable imaging
solution knowing that they were going to a fully digital clinic. UNLVSDM is
setting the scale for other dental schools to look upon when implementing a
paperless and filmless environment.”
Salud’s enterprise solution
facilitates all aspects of running a dental enterprise. Salud’s modules include,
Clinical, Finance/Administration, Academic, and Research. In addition to
providing the core functionality Salud’s open system design allows for
integration to third party vendors such as digital imaging and electronic claims
processing. Two-Ten Health provides an ancillary application, Salud Link On that
enables an Outreach Clinic not only to manage their patients but it also
provides a link to the school for decision support, research, continuing
education and other information.
Bruce Dennis, Vice President of Two-Ten
Health’s North American Operations stated, “The successful integration of Salud
and MiPACS was critical for UNLVSDM to realize the full benefits of being
filmless. UNLVSDM has established the new standard for digital radiograph
implementation in dental education.”
