Imaging Workflow Clients

What Clients are Saying

"We're extremely impressed with the throughput on the Compass routers."
David DonohueDirector, Information Services, Skagit Radiology, Inc.
"We replaced all of our other gateways that were configured individually for each client with Compass. The fact that Compass supports and manages unlimited sources and unlimited destinations was the perfect solution."
Jim OesterritterSourceHOV, Louisville, Kentucky
"I always felt that Compass was the strongest point in our CPACS infrastructure and once configured is something I could pretty much just count on working. A great product!"
Gary FelixCardio PACS Admin, Children's Hospital & Med Center, Omaha
"Our very busy breast imaging program requires interpretation of images from multiple systems quickly and reliably, but we struggled with disparate medical record numbers and wasted radiologist time fetching previous studies at the time of interpretation. Compass and Navigator solved this problem for us."
Helen S. Sandven, MDMedical Dir. of Breast Imaging, Asheville Radiology Associates
"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 Laurel Bridge Software solution enables us to present our clinical team only what they need to care for the patient, eliminating financial waste and simplifying the clinical process."
Dan MarnachDir. of Technology, Avera Hearth Hospital of S.D.
"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
"PowerTools makes analysis via Excel very handy. The Indexer is my preferred tool to use, as having the data in columns is the best!"
Sawyer ButterfieldMarshfield Clinic
"Since we implemented Navigator, Laurel Bridge's image sharing and priors fetching solution, we have been able to automate and free up at least 95% of a full-time resource for other projects and tasks."
Josh HammondDirector of IT, American Radiology Associates
