Soliton IT: Remodelling Healthcare workflows with RIS and Reporting Solutions

Helping clients leverage the influx of IT in the healthcare sector is Soliton IT, a provider of cutting edge Radiology Information Systems (RIS), Reporting Workflow Management (RWM) Solutions with integrated Speech Recognition and Digital Dictation. “Clients in this sector don’t want to have to think about how to use IT solutions, they need to be intuitive and they need to save time, moreover they need to be fully integrated reducing data entry and mitigating risk. In recent years, Healthcare providers have moved away from inflexible single supplier solutions embracing best-of-breed solutions and for this interoperability really is key,” explains Monica Reed, Managing Director, Soliton IT Australia.
