Cloud has very well penetrated the healthcare sector. One of the most common examples is PACS, which is Picture Archiving and Communication System. Cloud-based PACS has helped revolutionize PACS and is therefore considered a new and effective way to manage DICOM files and images. But what really makes it so? Let’s look at a few aspects associated with it.
PACS and Before PACS
PACS has really driven value for the healthcare sector. Before PACS, the healthcare sector had no option but to rely on physical storage and transmission of medical images and files. While incurring time and money, it kept the records under constant threat of theft and damage.
But PACS helped improve the situation. It provided storage and access to medical images from various devices and locations. Besides, it helped transmit ultrasound images and reports digitally, thus eliminating the need for sending reports, photos, and files manually. As a result, it reduced manual risks and threats.
Cloud PACS is a notch above and a more advanced approach to PACS. It is a model of networked online storage, where data is saved and stored on digitized storage pools, usually remotely hosted by third parties. Thus, cloud PACS enables a range of benefits while managing DICOM files and images.
Remote (anywhere and anytime) access to DICOM files and images. Doctors and other healthcare professionals can access the records through their mobile phones, iPads, etc.
- Elimination of the need to manage physical storage of records
- Reduced storage and document management costs
- Single central repository to manage all DICOM files and images
- Secure multi-factor authentication-based access to all documents
- Greater scalability, thus allowing healthcare service providers to scale with their businesses.
Multisite PACS – A Cloud-Based PACS System for More Efficient Management of DICOM Files and Images
Medsynapse Multisite RIS-PACS is an indigenously and uniquely developed web-based RIS-PACS system that allows image transmission within and outside the hospital. The system leverages cutting-edge technologies. It does not require users to install software or hardware. Users can operate it directly from the browser, allowing them to use it securely anywhere and at any time.
Healthcare service providers can utilize Medsynapse multisite PACS within multi-server highly complex architecture requirements, where multiple servers act as a single PACS instance. Some features of the system include the following.
- Tightly integrated RIS
- Multisite Connectivity
- Basic and advanced image processing
- Connect Non-DICOM modalities like Paper Scanner, C Arm, Endoscopy, etc. via PACS Converters
- Web-based image delivery anywhere within the environment
- Multimodality connectivity option
- Multiple communication tools like video conferencing, text chat, etc.
- Global and local worklist, with multisite data synchronization
- Generation of MIS reports
- Comprehensive audit and security
- Image-linking
- Multi-method reporting
- Write CD/DVD with autorun DICOM Viewer
In addition, there are many other features that make Multisite PACS a capable cloud-based system for managing DICOM files and images for every healthcare organization. Click here to learn more about the system.
