Web-based clinical IT software vendor ComMedica has released its next-generation link between medical imaging and RIS. The software package, called Integrated PACS application (I-PACS), is designed to manage the entire process of patient care, from booking appointments to delivery of diagnosis, within a single Web-based, open standards architecture.
