Specialty hospital moves enterprise PACS to the cloud

Cloud-based enterprise imaging solution provider ScImage has announced a partnership with RML Specialty Hospital, which serves the greater Chicago area. 

RML is known for providing critical care to patients with long hospital stays. According to a statement from ScImage, the collaboration addresses challenges often faced by long-term care facilities, including the need for remote specialist access and unique treatment requirements like wound care, which is still a mostly manual process. 

Specifically, RMLhas adopted the company’s PICOM365 cloud-native medical imaging management system, which will be integrated into the hospital’s workflows for medical storage, viewing and exchange.

IT optimization company Sentinel Technologies played a vital role in the development of this project, helping RML to select a partner based on the hospital’s list of specifications for a new enterprise imaging system. 

RML said in the statement that ScImage met or exceeded its expectations of improving patient care, with the assurance of security and uptime from any cloud-based service.
