1 VSApp RIS & PACS SOFTWARE

2 WHY VIRTUAL SOFTWARE? VSApp Computer engineers envision a day in the not-too-distant future when all computer applications will be virtual. Virtual software is considered to be on the cutting edge of computer application technology because it offers a global perspective. You will have access to your software and data from any Internet linked computer in the world. There are many advantages to the VSAppMedical software application. Since the software and the related data files do not reside on your office computer, they cannot be accidentally deleted, infected with viruses, or corrupted by power outages or voltage spikes. Data that is stored on-site can be lost or damaged by dust, temperature, water, fire, vandalism or equipment theft. On-site data storage requires individual clinic servers which must be environmentally controlled and regularly upgraded and serviced. On-site systems must be fire-walled and backed up to provide patient record security and confidentiality. The RIS application is divided into six main modules. These modules are the Scheduling Module, Booking Module, Typing Module, Billing Module, Reporting Module, and Administration Module. Each of these modules interfaces with each other seamlessly and provide an overall solution. The PACS application is seamlessly integrated with the RIS application and provides a paperless solution including past report history and previous films. Through the use of digital dictation or standard reports, clinics can expedite reporting to the referring physicians quickly and efficiently. For more information on the VSAppMedical Application, please contact our Sales Dept.

3 The Scheduling Module: VSApp This module is accessed through the administrative side of the application. Here you are able to schedule technologists into the clinics along with their start and end times. An added feature to this module is the ability to add reserved time periods for each technologist. These reserved times could be for anything such as breaks, lunch, emergency procedures, meetings, etc. The Booking Module: Working hand in hand with the Scheduling Module, the Booking Module allows the booking agent to easily enter in new appointments, view existing appointments, modify existing appointments, and check patients in when they arrive. Everything is accessed using a user friendly interface featuring point-and-click technology. For instance, to book new patients simply click on an available time, enter in their basic information, and click Add Appointment. That s it! When the patient arrives for their appointment all you have to do is select their appointment on the schedule and swipe their OHIP card. For more information, such as their address, you can swipe any Ontario driver s license and the information will automatically fill in. This module will also handle non-ohip billings such as FAS, WCB, and custom private billings. The Typing Module: One of the major benefits of virtual software is the ability to access it from any internet connection. As long as the typist has a connection to the internet they can type the reports from anywhere without having any special phone lines or equipment. All the typist needs to do after they log onto the system is select the radiologist they are typing for and either select from a list of appointments or search for the File ID. All the information for that appointment is now in front of them so they can be sure they are typing the correct appointment. The report is typed directly into the system and once they are done it is saved with the appointment and is marked ready for billing.

4 VSApp The Billing Module: OHIP billing is fully automated with customizable submission schedules. All error corrections are done through the application. The Reporting Module: The application comes with a dynamic reporting feature that takes into account almost every possible search combination. As part of the monthly software support contract you can request any custom report change added to your reporting module. This is important if there is a common report that is accessed often. All reports are printable and are personalized with your clinic name and logo. The Administration Module: This is the backbone of the software. Almost anything in the entire system can be modified from this module. Here you have access to who can access the system and what privileges they have. You can add or modify technologists and set what procedures they are allowed to perform. You can create your own custom clinic procedures. Each clinic procedure may be made up of multiple OHIP codes such as an Echo clinic procedure consisting of G570, G571, G577, and G578. Now when the booking agent needs to book a patient for an Echo they don t need to know the OHIP code, they simply select Echo from the list. For private billing you can add or modify private billings and even create custom private billings for certain clinics or for certain procedures. In the past, keeping track of film bags was sometimes a nightmare, not knowing where they are or if someone had checked them out and when. In this module you have a bag tracking system that allows you to search for specific bags and even select multiple bags and set them to a new location such as a central storage facility.

5 VSApp PACS Solution: With the integrated PACS solution as soon as the procedure is finished it will appear on the radiologist s list to be read. Once in a case, all the information for the current case as well as any reports or images from previous cases are available to be viewed. The digital dictation works with Philips SpeechMikes as well as any microphone headset. The radiologist can also select from a list of associated Standard Reports instead of dictating. DICOM Viewer: VSApp has developed their own custom DICOM viewer for maximum flexibility with options like display protocols and grid layouts. The viewer can be displayed in multiple monitors using a variety of resolutions depending on the clinic s needs. All the standard tools are provided for the manipulation of DICOM images such as Window Leveling, Pan, Zoom, Invert, Rotate, Flip, Measure, and Angle. The viewer can also be used for remote viewing from a home office or from a referring physician s office through the Doctor Portal Module.

6 Who is VSApp? VSApp VSApp has been developing software for the past 15 years for many different aspects of the business world. We are constantly adapting our software to better utilize the latest technologies available. By moving our clients to Virtual Software Applications we are able to reduce hardware and onsite support costs By centralizing software applications and data we are able to reduce downtime, lower hardware maintenance costs, and significantly improve response time on software updates and repairs. What is a Data Centre and what are the benefits? Our Data Centre in an earthquake, flood, and fireproof building located in Toronto, Ontario. Some of the features are: 24 hour onsite security, multiple backup generators incase of power outages, and a backplane connection to the Canadian Internet Pipeline allowing for very high transfer speeds. The data is stored on a multi-arrayed data storage server with multiple redundant components. All data is transfered with 128-bit encryption to provide 100% privacy. The cost to have all this security and relaibility in your clinics or offices is only a fraction of what it would cost to have your own equipment. We take care of the all the maintenance and upgrades on the servers so you don t have to worry. Not only that but there is no threat of anyone breaking in to steal your equipment or data. You can rest knowing that it is safe and you can access it anywhere you have an internet connection. Your Virtual Software Application Solution VSApp Inc nd Line Schomberg, ON L0G1T0 Canada Ph: Fx:
