Beacon centralizes and simplifies the on-demand Q/C management of DICOM study and patient data prior to its delivery to configured destinations, such as a PACS or VNA. Beacon is a component of the Laurel Bridge Enterprise Imaging Workflow Suite that enhances existing enterprise medical imaging workflow orchestration capabilities.

What Clients are Saying

"Freeport Health Network recently received the Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award from the ASA. This was in part because our Compass router automatically ensures CT studies are delivered to the local radiologist and the remote teleneurologist necessary to support the time critical stroke intervention process."
Eric DittmarEnterprise Imaging Specialist, Freeport Health Network
"The Compass workflow solution has revolutionized our Cerner downtime process by reducing the likelihood of human error and saving radiologist time. It has eliminated the need to manually place an order, choose the correct report template and add identifying demographics."
David E. Moore, MDRadiologist, Asheville Radiology
