subject: Affordable Pacs Solutions For Small To Mid-sized Medical Facilities [print this page] PACS systems have revolutionized how hospitals and medical facilities function. With the switch to digital medical imaging and the use of personal computers, the radiology department has been transformed and brought into the modern age of digital imaging with the advent of the DICOM imaging format. Similar to JPEG, DICOM formatted images can be read by a personal computer running a PACS software system, which then allows you to view, send, receive and archive the digital images electronically, saving on labor costs as well as supplies. PACS have historically been a costly proposition of several thousands of dollars. However, with the advent of inexpensive electronic equipment of all types, affordability has come to the digital medical arena as well. There are systems integrator service providers that can help you make the switch from one PACS system to another without a hassle, and can offer solutions for affordable PACS systems suited to your specific needs.
Without professional assistance from a systems integrator service, your medical office runs the risk of losing data or misplacing important digital information, not to mention the trouble of security breaches. Systems integrators know how to make the shift from one vendor's PACS system to another. This is a big deal for most medical offices, because often there are unique aspects of each system, and thus it takes skill and knowledge of all systems in order to get them to transfer digital information successfully. This is why a systems integrator is such a valuable asset to any medical facility moving to a new PACS system.
Your systems integrator will also be able to reduce downtime in the radiology department when the shift occurs by preplanning the data migration, and then managing the process for you. This leads to savings for your medical facility. The integration service can also tailor your PACS system to meet your specific needs, saving you more money by creating a system that efficiently meets your needs with no extra steps to slow you down, with a result of improved workflow, making it a cost-effective solution for your medical office.
You will also want a integration service with no conflict of interest, so that you know you will be getting unbiased advice from your adviser. This will also save your medical facility money. Because they are knowledgeable about all aspects of PACS migration, they can deal with the PACS vendors on your behalf and get the transfer of digital information done quickly and well.
