Blackbird is a turnkey, ultra-reliable, advanced radiology imaging and  practice management  solution, designed specifically for South African radiologists.

 

The top 10 reasons for choosing Blackbird

 

1) Blackbird’s viewing and post processing workstations have been designed by radiologists, for  radiologists, specifically for efficient navigation and visualization of large image sets (including multi-modality and multidimensional images).The stunning interface is intuitive, and the post processing capabilities extremely powerful. With Apple hardware, you benefit from Apple’s superior design, enviable stability, and readily available expandability.

2)``The radiologist workstations are inexpensive enough for you to purchase as many workstations as you require, and also allow you to offer them to important sub specialists in your hospital, who will reward you with an increased work.

3)``The revolutionary, virtually seamless way we move reports and images to your general referral base  will delight referring doctors. Images are instantly available to them, wherever they might be, using the same secure portal through which they currently receive lab reports, referrals, and consultations

4)  Our PACS is fully managed by Blackbird. No PACS administrator is required. It is       rock solid and uses  high-end, redundant hardware and has massive redundant storage capability. We have planned well for the upcoming explosion of digital data!

5)``Blackbird is monitored 24/7. Problems  are  generally   fixed   before  you   are          even aware of them. If a  problem develops on site that we cannot fix remotely, we  will send a technician within 24 hours to correct the problem.

6)``Our RIS (which is specifically designed for the South African market) allows patient details to be  entered once and then moved to the PACS, so this data is available throughout Blackbird. No more re-keying at the modality.

7)``Your billing data is, on a daily basis, automatically backed up off-site, so that your book debt is  protected from disaster.

8)``Movement of billing data to South African medical aids is well thought out and has been thoroughly tested through ten years of actual practice use.

9)``Our help line is manned 15 hours a day to ensure you are never alone. Our training courses will walk you through each step and ensure you enjoy all the  benefits of the advanced Blackbird system.
