  • CooperVision

    A new CooperVision web site, launched in partnership with the Armed Forces Optometric Society (AFOS), allows military members and their families to purchase CooperVision's contact lenses affordably and receive guaranteed delivery wherever they are located around the world.

    "As a former member of the U.S. Armed Services, I understand and appreciate the unique demands placed on our military personnel and their families," said John Weber, CooperVision president.

    For every box of CooperVision Biofinity, Avaira, and Proclear 1 day contact lenses purchased through the website, CooperVision will donate $1 to the Wounded Warrior Project.

  • PACSGEAR

    PACSGEAR, a Hacienda company which provides image connectivity solutions for medical image management (PACS) and electronic health record (EHR) systems to hospitals and healthcare facilities, has introduced ModLink, a software solution that transfers structured report measurements directly into PowerScribe 360 | Reporting from Nuance. Using measurement data from ultrasound, DEXA, or CT scans, ModLink auto-populates the report, saving valuable radiologist dictation time and reducing potential human error.

    "To include measurement data in reports, radiologists look at one screen and dictate values into another. Since some reports contain more than 20 measurements, we had to find a better way," said Eli Rapaich, PACSGEAR's CEO. "ModLink automatically populates report templates, allowing radiologists to avoid time-consuming dictation and costly reporting errors."
