The Algotec ASP Model - Pioneering Healthcare e-Services

The Algotec Application Service Provider (ASP) solution serves as the answer to the challenges healthcare is facing in today's cost-constrained environment. This unique service enables healthcare organizations to read and manage their clinical images on a pay per use basis.

The technology for the ASP solution is provided by a dedicated Algotec Web site that connects hospitals, imaging centers, reading groups and referring physicians, using secure Wide Area Network connections.

Using the ASP model saves healthcare providers the need to allocate large capital outlays in order to improve their workflow and bottom line performance. At the same time it guarantees the customer superb service by the vendor, since if the system is not functioning, the vendor cannot be paid per use. This solution is made possible through the availability of cost effective high speed Web and other means of communications, combined with Algotec's proprietary infrastructure technology.

In an ASP environment, and Algotec "Regional Hub" and Web portal is established. It provides all facilities connected to the Hub and portal with the following:

	Brokerage between hospitals, imaging centers and reading groups.
	Radiology reports and key images sent by email to relevant referring physicians and consumers.
