Mountain View, CA, February 14, 2002
IMPAC Medical Systems, Inc., the leading provider of
integrated clinical and administrative management systems for
cancer specialists since 1990, announced today the launch of its
new Multi-ACCESS ASP™
(Application Service Provider) and the installation of its first
ASP client, Elmhurst Hospital Center / Mount Sinai Radiation
Oncology Services in Elmhurst, New York.
Multi-ACCESS ASP allows Elmhurst Hospital Center / Mount Sinai
Radiation Oncology Services to operate IMPAC’s practice management
and integrated medical billing service over the Internet from
IMPAC’s central data center. Utilized for their professional
services, Elmhurst/Mount Sinai enjoys all the advantages of an
integrated management system with Multi-ACCESS ASP - including
full-featured registration, scheduling, and charge-capture without
having to worry about server hardware installation or maintenance.
IMPAC also offers an integrated electronic medical record (EMR)
system with Multi-ACCESS ASP.
“Multi-ACCESS ASP enables us to utilize our existing Internet PC
desktops without having to invest in additional IT capital or
build additional infrastructure,” said Jenneta Walsh-Earle,
Practice Manager, Elmhurst Hospital Center / Mount Sinai Radiation
Oncology. “Plus, Multi-ACCESS ASP allows our staff to perform and
function without noticeable differences to utilizing a traditional
internally hosted system.”
IMPAC’s ASP services include server hardware maintenance, daily
data backups and off-site tape storage, as well as provide timely
software upgrades. With upcoming HIPAA legislation requiring
stringent standards of data security, Multi-ACCESS ASP services
also include the maintenance of state-of-the-art firewalls to
prevent unauthorized data access, plus 128-bit data encryption on
all electronic data communications.
“A key benefit of Multi-ACCESS ASP is that it allows providers to
focus more on providing quality healthcare and less on the
business of maintaining IT infrastructure,” said Joseph K.
Jachinowski, president and CEO of IMPAC. “In addition, the
flexibility of an Internet hosted application gives healthcare
providers the ability to securely access their HIS system from
virtually anywhere they have Internet access – including remote
clinics, facilities, or home.”
“Over the past year IMPAC has invested vigorously developing
Multi-ACCESS ASP and the data center infrastructure,” said Mark
Arnold, ASP Product Manager, IMPAC. “This infrastructure includes
high-reliability servers with complete fail-over capabilities that
provide levels of service and support that can’t be found
elsewhere.”
