For November, we plan on doing a special report on PACS issues. Below see the outline -- I'm open to comments (positive and negative) Imaging Special Report
Topic 1: Are you a healthcare technology professional who has been tasked with integrating your organization’s PACS/imaging strategy into your EMR/advanced clinical information systems? Have you already begun flowing images into your EMR and across your clinical enterprise?
Topic 2: Have you recently partnered with your organization’s clinician leaders in selecting a PACS system that satisfies their needs — and plays well within your IT architecture? What’s the best way to make sure everyone winds up happy with the final result? How do you pick a system when radiology, oncology and cardiology may all want different bells and whistles?
Topic 3: Are you using PACS to support the provision of radiology services to your community? Have such services become a significant source of revenue? Are you planning to use third-party teleradiology services that provide off-shore radiology interpretation services?
Apart from the PACS package --- feel free to throw any story ideas my way.
