The Case for Cardiac PACS.

Cardiovascular information and imaging systems, which are known more familiarly as cardiac PACS, are helping providers improve patient care while reducing costs, but they’re also seeing worker morale improvement because the efficiencies gained lessen the risk of worker burnout.

One of the ways in which cardiac PACS improves efficiency is the fact that the data is located in one place instead of several. All departmental data can be accessed easily. Furthermore, by using analytics software, you can delve deeper into the data and take more from it, helping you make fact-based decisions that lead to saving money while improving workflow.

The Zero Footprint Approach

It’s crucial that medical professionals get what they need at the moment they need it. That’s why the zero footprint approach is sought after today. Cardiac PACS with the most advanced viewing capabilities offers this zero-footprint possibility, leading to images being viewable anywhere on any device that can connect to the Internet.

This takes the stress away for many providers, especially the technicians on call who have historically always had to go to the office to look at the images on a proprietary viewer. Again, this ability to view images on the go is a big step toward reducing burnout.

AI Adoption

Another positive move that eases the workload is the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI), which is tackling what were formally time-consuming manual tasks. AI has the ability to detect anomalies and alert the right people to these anomalies. This has a huge impact on patient care, as AI will identify patients who are at risk for cardiovascular disease before the onset of symptoms.

Cloud-Based Opportunities

The best PACS vendors are working through the cloud to bring all the efficiencies radiology departments require. Some of these vendors are focused on doing a lot of the heavy lifting for customers, which means they’re taking on all of the administrative duties and letting the customer do what they do best – treat the patient.

At OffSite Image Management, we offer a range of services that will fit any budget. If you’re a small clinic and want structured reporting, the ability to import documents and get an all-in-one FDA workstation/PACS hybrid, our base monthly admin support option called “Power PACS” will be perfect for you and your limited needs. For facilities that require a customized enterprise-level PACS solution and complete control of their environments and data, a more robust “Enterprise PACS” is key.
