The demand for web-based PACS systems is driven,
at least in part, by healthcare reform and the fact that more patients are
making radiology services part of their wellness routine. This means those
images must, more often than not, be shared. Cardiac
PACS are no exception – they too are part of the equation for providing
better care and creating more workflow efficiencies.
One of the benefits of a Cardiac PACS system is that you have one system which you
can control nearly every aspect of the process with. Rather than relying on
disparate systems and spending time and energy bouncing back and forth,
everything is supplied “under one roof.”
Consolidating Data
When your data resides in fewer places, the better handle you have on
mining your data to gain efficiencies. You get more insights into scheduling,
exams per day, history of the patients, where they are in their current
workflow and where they need to go next. You also gain insights into how your
equipment is being used, which means you can more accurately schedule exams, so
you aren’t seeing a bottleneck in the waiting room.
Mobility
Like with most cloud-based or web-based systems, cardiac PACS delivers on
mobility. Not only do radiologists gain mobility in how they access and share
data, cardiologists and referring physicians also realize more access without
having to rely on dedicated viewing stations. The best vendors of cardiac PACS
will include smartphone apps that can be utilized to access data on the go.
Quality Web-Based Solutions
If you’re looking to erase your dependence on CDs to share images,
web-based solutions are your key to leaving the CD burning technology behind.
Given the size of images being created today, this is critical. Furthermore,
when you can access images through a secure URL, you no longer have to worry
about a malfunctioning CD burner, damages or lost CDs. And perhaps the greatest
advantage is that without physical copies on a disc, the images and other data are
immediately available to any authorized user with an Internet connection.
OffSite Advantages
Variedfile types are the norm today, which can be an obstacle to
productivity if you’re not invested in applications that give you a workaround.
With OffSite Image Management’s Cardiac PACS offering, you can view exams
regardless of the modality used to create them. Our background in cloud-based
radiology solutions has positioned us as a go-to source for cardiology
solutions that assist our clients in gaining the efficiencies they need to
