Agfa HealthCare's IMPAX EnterpriseProductivity Suite (EPS) is designed to helpimprove the radiologists' overall efficiency bycreating an Enterprise Worklist for coordinating reporting activity across distributed sites over a wide area network (WAN).

Al Dyer, Agfa Healthcare's Ambulatory Care Solutions Manager said, The healthcare industry is challenged by a combination of digital imaging growth and a shortage of radiologists. Agfa's IMPAX EPS helps combat that by providing access to an enterprise-wide worklist and by allowing reporting tasks to be assigned across multiple sites,  "With an efficient, user-friendly and intuitive interface, IMPAX EPS provides the flexibility and functionality to handle staffing shortages by effectively focusing on balancing work amongst distributed radiology resources."

IMPAX EPS can also help radiologists decrease report turnaround time, while helping facilities reduce costs, increase productivity and optimize resource utilization without increasing staff.

IMPAX EPS optimizes the use of specialty services by providing modality experts or subspecialty experts with a list of studies that need to be reported. The system facilitates the distribution of workload during off-hours to those sites where radiologists are on-call, such as late or weekend shifts, and it maximizes network utilization by prioritizing sites for image retrievals.
