The battle over PACS goes back to the 90s
Depts. Corp IT
1999 VNA first developed at the University of Alabama
2015 Deconstructed PACS Trend Gains Momentum
PACS
Worklist and Viewer vs Storage, Bandwidth, Security
Clinical / Department Workflow vs EHR Image Enablement
One Department / Multi-Sites vs Multiple Departments / Multi-Sites
New Trend: National Telerad Companies
• Some of the national telerad companies are for profit, venture backed firms
• These firms are reading for multiple hospitals in many locations
• In order to achieve financial goals, and deliver economic value to their hospital clients, the firms are providing the workflow solutions to optimize the radiologists efficiency when reading across many sites
• “Platform” that provides long-term flexibility, disaster recovery, lifecycle management
• Ability to easily share medical (data) by communicating with different PACS
• Central repository for medical imaging data and other patient data based on open architecture for multiple departments of multiple hospitals.
• Accepts data irrespective of the originating PACS or other viewing, acquisition and workflow management system
• Makes originating sources changeable without having to change the data formats or interface of the archive.
