As medical imaging technology continues to evolve, the pressure on your healthcare enterprise can be enormous. Hospitals must keep pace with technology and the competition, attract and retain physicians, and manage the ever-increasing volume of information and medical images produced by day-to-day work. More and more hospitals are turning to enterprise-wide PACS solutions to help alleviate these concerns and increase their clinical efficiency. Consider these advantages:
Learn more about how a medical imaging PACS integrates with digital mammography into your diagnostic imaging workflow.
- Improved workflow and productivity within and between the radiology and cardiology departments and workflow automation to other areas of the hospital
- Elimination of communication barriers between departments and facilities
- Increased physician adoption, through improved point-of-care access to patient information
PACS (picture archiving and communication system) allows physicians unprecedented information access and allows hospitals to establish streamlined workflows and eliminate communication barriers.
PACS offers physicians instant, secure online access to current and prior images and reports, so they have the patient's complete medical history at their fingertips. To see it in action, schedule a demo with McKesson.
Unprecedented Access to Patient Information
Distance is no longer an issue. Physicians can view files instantly, from any location with Web access, meaning that a PACS solution will always provide faster results than film, regardless of location.
Most importantly, this means that surgeons can now look at files right in the OR without having to wait for film to be developed and returned to the surgical suite.
Improve Physician Adoption and Retention
This improved access to patient information at the point of care increases physician adoption and retention. Physicians will go where they feel they can offer the best care for their patients. PACS technology gives radiologists an opportunity to read more efficiently, obtain a clear picture of what's going on inside the patient and develop better diagnoses.
Increase Patient Throughput
Whether at your hospital for an examination or at your imaging center for a CT, patients will enjoy a faster, more efficient experience. The streamlined medical imaging PACS workflow leads to faster procedures and report turnaround, allowing patients and doctors to move more quickly to diagnosis and treatment.
Increase Exams per Day
Patient wait times decrease as information moves more quickly through your entire enterprise. Doctors can read and record information at the point of care and perform more thorough exams in a shorter amount of time.
Assure Patient Safety
With a medical imaging PACS, physicians will now have immediate access to images, creating more time for analysis and diagnosis. Patient safety is improved with closed loop communication that bridges the gap between physicians and radiologists.
