Thoughts from Randall Swearingen

Raising the Bar

Swearingen Software has been known as a leader in Radiology Information Systems for many years now.  Our success stems from you, our customers.  Your support, dedication, input and loyalty have helped inspire me over the past twenty-something years. Thus, we have maintained a reputation of having quality software, an affordable price and level of service and support unequaled in our industry. 

I think that it's safe to say that Swearingen Software has a unique relationship with its customers that is unheard of in the business world.  It's a relationship of friendship, trust and commitment.  Like a board of directors in a typical corporation, our customers meet with us once a year and vote on the future direction of the software and the company.  These annual user conferences have shaped the software and company into what it is today. 

As you are now aware, we have partnered and tightly integrated our RIS with Emageon, a high end PACS vendor with approximately 600 hospital customers.  After much due diligence from both companies, we are extremely pleased to continue our partnership whereby they will be our PACS partner for facilities performing over 20,000 annual exams per year.  The interest in the combined PACS/RIS product was formally debuted at HIMSS in Orlando, Florida and the response was outstanding.

Additionally, we recently signed an agreement with NUANCE/DICTAPHONE to integrate their products with RISynergy, further tightening the integration gap with voice recognition systems and other transcription solutions.

With your help, we will continue raising the bar as we grow together in the ever changing marketplace.
