I rarely give product endorsements; however, my recommendation for AS Software is an exception. In 2006 we purchased the AS software system for our large Maternal Fetal Medicine unit where we saw over 17,000 patient visits last year. Prior to utilizing AS Software we were generating paper ultrasound reports that required several days to get into the hands of referring physicians due to editing and mailing. Since we have been using the AS Software system our work efficiency and productivity have changed dramatically. Our reports are generated on the spot and faxed immediately upon signing. Physicians can edit and sign the reports on an ongoing basis throughout the day rather than waiting for sonographers to generate and edit them between patients and after office hours. Referring physicians appreciate fast, easy access to faxed reports usually on the same day as the ultrasound. The image review feature allows us to compare prior and present scans easily and quickly. The antepartum testing reports and Message feature provide a comprehensive paperless reporting solution. The ongoing phone support from the AS Software personnel has been superb. I highly recommend the AS Software package to anyone who wants an easy and effective paperless solution with great client support. David B. Fox, MD Medical Director, Maternal-Fetal Medicine Riverside Hospital Columbus, OH
	Our ultrasound unit, serving one of the busiest obstetrical units in Manhattan, performs over 25,000 scans and procedures a year and has been utilizing the AS reporting and archiving system for over 8 years. Everything in this reporting system is geared towards helping the physician generate a detailed, comprehensive, clear and organized report in a minimum amount of time and with a minimum amount of effort. It is a surprisingly user-friendly system, both from the perspective of our sonographers that enter the basic data as well as our MFM specialists that edit the reports. Almost every aspect of the report has been easily customized to suit our specific needs and preferences, and we are easily able to continuously tweak various aspects of the report according to our needs. In a unit such as our own, where over 100 reports are generated daily, you don't want to spend time on a cumbersome reporting system. The AS system has turned the task of creating a report into an effortless task, where a few keystrokes are often all that is necessary to complete the job. The image viewing system is fast and efficient, and the file archiving system is simple and straightforward. In addition, the system allows us to generate a wide range of statistical reports as well as detailed searches for the purpose of research. In the rare cases that we have had a technical issue or problem to resolve, the support staff in AS has been extremely responsive and helpful. In short, it is not difficult to understand why we love using the AS system, and why our referring physicians love the clarity and the layout of the reports they receive. Barak M. Rosenn, M.D. Professor of OB/GYN Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons Director, Division of Obstetrics and Maternal-Fetal Medicine St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center New York, NY
	I have been using the AS system for two years and I have been extremely pleased both with the product and with the service from the company. Before using the AS system, I routinely worked at home for 1-2 hours per night finishing reports and follow-up letters to referring physicians. I don't ever take work home anymore and I am able to see patients more efficiently in the office. One reason for this is the flexibility in the system - I have developed customized templates for common patient problems and it is therefore very easy and fast to generate consultation letters. The image management system makes it easy to compare images from prior scans and is infinitely superior to storing images on DVD. I can also review images and reports from home if needed. Additionally, the reports are easy to read and have a professional appearance. When I finish reports, they are automatically faxed to the referring physician so there is no extra work generated for my office staff. We have had very few problems with the system, and the AS staff has been very responsive when we have called with issues. I highly recommend the AS system and I am very glad to be using it in my office. Melinda McFarland, MD Perinatal Fertility Specialists of San Antonio, Texas San Antonio, TX
	I have worked with several ultrasound data collection, processing, and reporting programs over many years. The AS-OBGYN program is the most user-friendly and yet comprehensive and satisfying I have encountered. Data input is reliable, handling is easy, and reporting and billing processes are facilitated with minimal delay and maximal flexibility for the user. Querying of stored data is fairly easy and documentation of effort possible. AS Software's support staff is accessible and updating is timely and centralized for minimal intrusion into the work flow. I would highly recommend AS-OBGYN over any other program with which I am familiar. Richard P. Perkins, MD DuBois Regional Medical Center, Perinatal Consultants DuBois, PA
	Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to work with most of the major ultrasound software and data collection packages available throughout the world. Objective analysis demonstrates clearly that the AS Software package and support is absolutely superior to anything else out there. The work flow is logical, comprehensive, and easy to follow. The ability to retrieve and sort data is superb and particularly suited to managing the high proportion of multifetal pregnancies and anomalies that we see. With our previous system, there was not a single day in which every single typical situation we encountered could be logically reduced into reports. With AS, we have never had a single situation in which it did not work. This has made our reporting to referring physicians faster and more accurate. These systems should be like the umpires in baseball: if you notice them too much, then they are not doing their job properly. The AS system provides excellent support and documentation and seldom requires attention paid to it,per se. I cannot think of a better solution for any ultrasound program – either huge or small – that requires proper, fast ,and accurate documentation of their work with built in safeguards to make sure the necessary data were collected. Mark I. Evans, MD Director, Comprehensive Genetics, PLLC President, Fetal Medicine Foundation of America New York, NY
	It’s hard to believe that it has been 18 years since we purchased AS Software. I have used it in three different institutions (two Large Academic Centers and one Private Practice), and have found AS Software to be extremely useful in each. Why this particular Software when there are many others available? In one word – Flexibility, although I could also describe it with many other words such as user friendly, reliable, concise, efficient, fast, or seamless. Physicians, sonographers, office support staff, and office managers have found AS Software very easy to use. On a busy day it is not unusual to get a phone call from a referring practitioner asking about a particular patient that was seen in our facility. From my desktop, I am able to pull the patient’s records from AS, view all of the current and previous images, reports and recommendations made by myself or my coworkers and answer questions more quickly and confidently. Customized templates allow you to insert an explanation of the findings directly onto the report. Once done, you can run a spell check and if you are satisfied auto-Fax the report to one, two or more providers eliminating the need to fax or mail the report. Physicians get an immediate report instead of waiting days to get it in the mail. Over the years AS has been extremely willing to customize templates, add tables, and take our suggestions to improve their Software. By far one of the stellar parts of this Software is the technical support. They will answer their phones in a matter of seconds, connect you to the right person and have your issue resolved. In case they cannot resolve it immediately, they work behind the scene, access your software and solve the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible. Upgrades are also transparent. They do all of their upgrades after hours so as not to interfere with the workflow. All of us have many choices when it comes to buying reporting software for our busy Maternal-Fetal-Medicine practice. After 18 years of using AS Software I would strongly recommend this particular software for its ease of use and its reliability. You will not be disappointed. Jean-Claude Veille MD Obstetrician & Gynecologist Perinatal Associates of Sacramento, Sacramento, CA
	[The] AS-OBGYN Software has been integral to the growth and success of our Maternal-Fetal Medicine practice in many ways. Not only is the software user-friendly for the physicians and sonographers alike, but the ultrasound reports are concise, easy to interpret, and easily adaptable to the specifications of each individual practice's requirements. The addition of this software into our busy clinical practice has allowed us to accommodate higher patient volumes in a more timely and more efficient manner. The AS-Software staff provided a seamless transition from our previous software reporting system and incorporated the new AS software into our new ultrasound machines in a collaborative effort with the ultrasound machine vendors. The experience our facility and department has had with AS-OBGYN has been quite fulfilling. I would highly recommend this product without reservation to anyone seeking practice expansion, growth and progress with the implementation of this software as one of the cornerstones to developing a more efficient and productive practice. Sriram Perni, MD, FACOG Chairperson, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Director, Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center Toledo, OH
	I just wanted to let your company know how pleased I am with your reporting package. It is so helpful having the imaging system in the same spot as the reporting. It makes it simple to refer back to the images if I should need any measurements or to clarify a particular image worth noting. Also the systems' ability to drop routine measurements right into the report makes it that much quicker to generate an accurate report. It was quite easy to learn and the report has a professional finished appearance. Another area that we found to be exceptional is the technical support that we receive whenever we need to troubleshoot a problem, which tend to be far and few in number. We are satisfied and probably would upgrade in the future. Thanks again for your time. Paula Arnold, RDMS Rochester General Hospital Antenatal Testing Unit Rochester, NY
	Our department has been using AS Software since December, 2010, and I have been very pleased with both the software and the technical support provided by AS. The perinatal software is robust and flexible enough to meet our unique requirements while providing an estetically pleasing, very readable report for our referring physicians. The same statement may be made for the gynecologic reporting used by our Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Fertility. The staff at AS are always willing to work with us to tweak and upgrade our system as technology changes and our needs evolve. I would like to commend you and your staff for your consistent professionalism. You are reliably available to answer our questions and help us solve problems quickly, allowing us to focus on meeting our patients’ needs. I look forward to continuing this association for many years to come. Randall Floyd, MD Director, Maternal Fetal Medicine and Obstetrics Associate Professor Missouri Center for Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Ultrasound University of Missouri - Columbia Columbia, MO
	"Hands down this is the best software program I've ever used. My staff and I have used many programs through the years. We chose to return to AS Software due to the reliability of the audit trail, the ease in reporting, the layout of the report, the versatility of making changes and the option of storing and changing the micro dictionaries. The layout is easy to follow and the final report is comprehensive and easy to read. The autofax is included in the purchase and saves many clerical hours. The referring physicians are very impressed with the turn around time for reporting and its appearance. I’m really pleased that the images are equally as clear on the software as seen on ultrasound modality. The ability to post process measurements and add or delete anotations is a very convenient tool. The customer support is fast and seamless in assisting our needs. In short, I would definitely recommend this software to anyone looking for a quality software within a reasonable budget." Victor H. Gonzalez-Quintero MD, MPH Associates in Advanced Maternal Fetal Medicine Miami, FL
	I am writing to compliment your excellent service and support staff at AS-Software. Currently the DHMC Ultrasound Department is considering expansion of the reporting functions and subsequent implementation of the non-OB reporting component of the AS-OBGYN system. As we approach this new venture we wanted to recognize the benefits and service we have already realized from your staff in the past. Any new system presents challenges and change. While we have encountered challenging and unfamiliar events in the operation of the AS-OBGYN product in the past, our concerns have been consistently handled in an efficient manner by your staff. The telephone support is encouraging, professional, and prompt. We have found your staff ready and willing to listen to concerns, investigate the issues, and whenever necessary, a follow-up phone call to our staff is usually received within in 1-2 hours - this is exemplary service! Shiya Goldstein has been extremely resourceful especially when we have encountered unusual system operational problems. Competent follow-up is critical in the fast paced, hospital, patient-centric environment. Appropriate response facilitates concurrent quality patient care while the system problem is being resolved. As an example, our most recent system revision involved the follicular monitoring package. Because our Infertility Medicine Section requested that three measurements transfer, in addition to the volume for each measured follicles, this was a significant change - yet, your staff met this request within just a few days! From the initial installation (2007) and throughout several system upgrades (2008) we have continued to experience smooth transitions from our previous Obstetrical-Reporting package. Considering the varied needs and learning styles of our staff of 16 physicians and 7 sonographers, the training period was easily accomplished and well accepted by the staff. Your onsite support, follow-up and commitment are truly commendable. As we move forward and expand our reporting capabilities, we look forward to a positive continued working relationship! Thank you for the consistent and professional service you provide! Dennis Seguin, RT, RDMS Team Leader, Ultrasound Department of Radiology Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Lebanon, NH
	We have been using AS-OBGYN, and it has been a very positive experience. The software is extremely user friendly, has many options for different user preferences, and our referring obstetricians have commented on the easy readability of our reports. We use AS-FAX to send all of our reports, which significantly shortens the time for the obstetricians to receive our reports and saves both paper and postage. We have also implemented AS-COMM, which reduces the chance of human error in entering our biometry. The support staff at AS Software has always been available and helpful. They were instrumental in setting up our system so that we could use AS-OBGYN from our numerous office sites linked to a single server, so that we could access any of our patients from all of our offices. Finally, AS Software has been very responsive to our suggestions for improvements, and we get frequent upgrades that reflect our needs. We have been very satisfied with AS-OBGYN, and highly recommend it to any obstetrical sonography practice. Richard L. Fischer, MD Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology, UMDNJ-RWJ Medical School at Camden Co-Division Head, Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Cooper University Hospital Camden, NJ
	I have been using the AS Software Ultrasound Reporting system since 1990. I have seen it evolve into an ever more sophisticated and user-friendly system. I think the most important aspect of the system is the accessibility of the support staff and their responsiveness to suggestions for improvement. The system interfaces directly with the Ultrasound machines and calculations are made based on a variety of biometric tables from published literature. Navigation throughout the system is intuitive and easy to use and integrates with the Image Management (PACS) module. Once a report is finalized it is faxed automatically to the referring physician. As software systems go, I have encountered few glitches over the years, and when one appears, a quick phone call is all it takes to get a solution. The employees of AS Software are uniformly polite, helpful, friendly, and timely; from the sales and technical staff up to the president. All in all, I have been extremely pleased with the ease of report generation and the readability of the result.
