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.

ASP = Optimized QA | Gaining the benefits of simple centralized display QA

Barco

Until recently, medical display quality assurance (QA) options were limited to two, not-so-ideal solutions. Workstation-based QA controls calibration and centralized QA management on one local reading seat. It’s a tedious, labor-intense (and expensive) process that requires an IT staffer to individually check each medical display.

The Voice of Reason: Users Speak Out on Tips to Implementing Voice Recognition

Radiologists successfully using voice solutions say the technology’s true benefit is in helping radiologists provide better service.

Reading is Fundamental: Making Image Viewing More Efficient

Radiology reading stations must be efficient and support the heavy — and increasing — workload endured by most radiologists.

Image Storage: When an Enterprise Strategy Works Best

Healthcare providers are relying on enterprise-wide storage systems to house myriad digital information across one unified platform.

Image & Information Storage

With disaster recovery plans fresh on the minds of many healthcare providers as well as federal compliance regulations for recordkeeping, vendors are offering cost-effective storage solutions that are flexible enough in price and function to appeal to a wide range of customers.

Medical Displays

Display vendors will be showcasing their latest color and grayscale displays on the HIMSS exhibit floor, with a number of recently introduced models ranging from 1 megapixel (MP) all the way up to 4 MP.

Voice Speaks the Language of Integration

The new efficiencies of speech recognition continue to grow in popularity as more vendors focus on its integration with electronic records.
