OffSite Still Bringing Excellent PACS Solutions to Rural Providers
As most rural healthcare providers have witnessed, the large-scale PACS providers are taking a step
back from servicing rural areas. This means clinics and critical access hospitals in rural areas are going to have to seek out another way to manage medical images.
In fact, the price structure large-scale PACS providers offer to critical access hospitals is not accommodating the budgets of the critical access hospitals, which pales in comparison to what large providers can afford. Not only are some PACS providers not offering sensible pricing structures for the small guys, they are pulling out of the rural areas altogether. They’re taking their one-size-fits-all structure and leaving town.
In one case, a large PACS provider that covered rural hospitals actually outsourced their PACS sales and implementations, but then stopped doing business with resource because it was affecting their pricing, making it difficult to compete with other PACS providers that were offering more reasonable pricing.
Thanks to industry-leading solutions from OffSite Image Management, Inc., rural providers not only have access to excellent PACS solutions, they also get them at a price that is guaranteed to save them money.
Professionals who have worked in rural areas their entire careers, and continue to make serving rural providers their focus created OffSite’s cloud-based PACS solutions. These are scalable solutions, yet they don’t sacrificing any of the functionality or quality clients expect out of a cloud-based PACS provider.
More than one client of OffSite has commented that the quality they get is actually better than what the giant PACS providers can offer. Part of the reason is that OffSite’s teams work closely with their solutions. The teams know the offerings they provide inside and out, which means when a client has a question or a problem, OffSite team members are quickly able to manage the situation.
Working on a one-to-one level is part of OffSite’s business model. The big PACS players aren’t able to or are unwilling to go this “extra mile,” which is actually just part of the package with OffSite. In fact, it’s not uncommon for OffSite professionals to work face-to-face with client.
While the large PACS providers pull out of the rural areas, OffSite has been and will continue to be focused on making diagnostic image management and patient data solutions more efficient, streamlined, effective and appropriately priced.
OffSite offers a 360 degree solution, including offsite disaster recovery and business continuity, virtual CD, health image exchange and a teleradiology-based solution that’s new called Telerad360.
Virtual CD is a popular tool for OffSite clients who once relied on burning medical images onto compact discs. Of course, this process of burning the images was time consuming, prone to error, and led to undesirable situations such as getting lost or stolen, which presents a risk of HIPAA violations. Clients can pack away their CD burning technology when they get with OffSite because our solution only requires a password protected URL and the medical images can be sent to anyone, regardless of what type of viewer they have.
