Radiology Solutions by Bluebird Medical
IT Managment
PACS Management generally requires additional, expensive IT staff (with coverage during vacation, sick leave etc.).
BLACKBIRD is managed by Bluebird which means that the practice can concentrate on seeing patients.
Lock-in
Vendors often seduce practices into buying proprietary solutions that attempt to lock the practice in to a particular vendor. The suggestion is that buying your modality, PACS and workstations from a single vendor ensures that they all play well together. Besides being expensive, this is often a temporary solution; modalities progress and you do not want to be forced by your PACS to limit your future choice of modality (such as 256 CT). Many legacy PACS’s are simply not volume ready!
BLACKBIRD is standards based (Dicom, HL7, IDE) and because there is no technology lock-in your investment is protected.
Book Debt
Most practices run a large book debt. Loss of that accounting data (theft, fire, flood) can be catastrophic, yet the off-site back up of accounting data is often not well organized.
BLACKBIRD provides incremental, daily, offsite backups.
