Nearly every facility has some form of PACS these days but few end users have a system that has been optimized so that it can meet its fullest potential. IMC’s PACs optimization is a low cost service that reviews several of the tasks listed below. The review can be completely customized to meet your needs and budget.
Projects can be completed in as little as a day or two or address several areas over a several week period.
Some of the tasks we review include:
- Evaluate your existing system design, including interfaces with other clinical systems
- Pros, cons, and potential changes
- Archive, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
