Case Study: Republic County Hospital achieves instant image access and 50% cost savings with Intelerad

Republic County Hospital Provides Instant Image Access with Ambra Health

Republic County Hospital, a North Central Kansas rural health system founded in 1961, performs more than 10,000 imaging studies a year but had relied on costly outside PACS, CDs, and complex VPNs to share images across a wide network of physicians. To modernize image access and reduce administrative burden, the hospital deployed Intelerad’s Ambra Health cloud-based image sharing and archiving platform.

Intelerad implemented a web-based portal and cloud archive that uses secure share links, mobile access, and simple workflows to replace CDs and VPN transfers; uploads now take under three minutes and physicians can view and send studies without extra local servers. The solution streamlined exchange across disparate systems, improved patient and provider experience, and delivered measurable impact — including phasing out most CDs and reducing imaging-related costs by over 50%.
