Enterprise Imaging

Enterprise imaging brings together all imaging exams, patient data and reports from across a healthcare system into one location to aid efficiency and economy of scale for data storage. This enables immediate access to images and reports any clinical user of the electronic medical record (EMR) across a healthcare system, regardless of location. Enterprise imaging (EI) systems replace the former system of using a variety of disparate, siloed picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), radiology information systems (RIS), and a variety of separate, dedicated workstations and logins to view or post-process different imaging modalities. Often these siloed systems cannot interoperate and cannot easily be connected. Web-based EI systems are becoming the standard across most healthcare systems to incorporate not only radiology, but also cardiology (CVIS), pathology and dozens of other departments to centralize all patient data into one cloud-based data storage and data management system.

Cardiology PACS: Solutions to Fit Your Needs

Cardiac-related advances in imaging modalities such as CT, MR, PET/CT,SPECT and echocardiography have created a demand for cardiology PACScapabilities that offer individualized solutions to fit evolving imagemanagement and patient information management needs.

Enterprise Image Management Makes the Grade

For many sites, PACS is an enterprise, rather than radiology department, investment. This enterprise approach packs a powerful punch. It delivers cost-savings, efficiencies and improved care.

CD/DVD Burners: Burn, Baby, Burn

CD and DVD burners are now ubiquitous in the medical imaging market and CDs have become a de facto solution to archiving and distributing medical images.

RIS/PACS in the Imaging Center: Shifting from Best of Breed to Best Practices

Integrated RIS/PACS is the hot ticket in radiology these days — driving better workflow, productivity, reporting and even billing.

Orthopedic PACS Pays Off with Strong ROI

No more missing films. No more empty file jackets. And no more wastedoffice space crammed full of x-ray films, folders, chemicals andprocessors.  And that’s just the icing on the cake: the overallimprovements in practice efficiencies and patient care, along with aquick return on investment are among the concrete benefits of adoptingan orthopedic picture archiving and communications system (PACS) tostore and retrieve digital x-ray images via a computed radiography (CR)system.

Talking Success: Integrating PACS & Speech Recognition

Southern Ohio Medical Center is a voice recognition success story. Thecenter’s interest in voice recognition technology dates back to 1995 aspart of a project to improve efficiency among radiologists and reducefinal report turnaround time. roject manager, RIS/PACS Administrator Howard Stewart, offers some pointers for his colleagues.
