CoActiv EXAMPACS Integrates OrthoView Templating Software

February 3, 2005 -- CoActiv Medical Business Solutions of Ridgefield, CT, a software and systems provider to hospitals and radiology imaging centers, today announced the integration of Meridian Technique's Orthopedic templating software, OrthoView, with CoActiv EXAM-PACS, a full solution picture archiving and communications system. This seamless integration offers users of CoActiv's EXAM-PACS the ability to plan and prepare for orthopedic surgical procedures using OrthoView's latest surgical planning tools.

OrthoView is an orthopedic digital imaging solution that allows orthopedic surgeons to pre-plan surgical procedures using templates for knees, hips and other joints. In conjunction with CoActiv EXAM-PACS, OrthoView enables the surgeon to template an exam from the same viewing station the surgeon uses to view digital radiological images. A diagnostic exam and OrthoView's comprehensive library of digital templates, from all major orthopedic appliance manufacturers, can be used in tandem to prepare for a procedure. OrthoView gives doctors the ability to map-out and notate a surgical procedure in a digital environment where the surgical planning record, the original diagnostic digital image and the detailed templating tools are all combined and automatically saved within the original exam for future reference.

CoActiv and OrthoView can now provide a complete PACS solution for orthopedic practices and gives hospitals and imaging centers the versatility to provide orthopedic templating throughout the enterprise. "CoActiv believes it is critical to give hospitals and imaging centers the flexibility to take advantage of medical procedures that are vastly improved by incorporating the latest digital technology," stated Ed Heere, President of CoActiv Medical Business Solutions. "As all medical records make the move to digital, CoActiv can now merge diagnostic exams with surgical planning templates from OrthoView, and store them as part of the original exam that can be easily integrated with a patient's full medical record," continued Mr. Heere.
