Our site is implementing the function to view images via PCI. We purchased the Meditech PACS Suite along with an interface to send signed reports from our PACS system back to Meditech. At this point I cannot provide information on whether these actions will reduce the expected time for ROI, but we are trying to move in a direction that will provides the ROI before the estimated time study indicates. Our though process is that the provider does to one place to view lab results, radiology reports and view images if necessary. Our PACS system also provides an option of a short voice clip while viewing or in our case launching the Web browser from PCI. This was a welcomed advantage for our providers. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Czarnecki, Frances Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 12:32 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [MEDITECH-L] PACS Questions All messages should be posted in plain text. HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== We are just startng to evaluate PACS systems and how we feel our facility could best benefit by this technology. One of our first questions centered around whether or not most facilities go with the Meditech PACs Integration Suite of products making the images available through PCI (or clinical review) or if viewing occurs through the PACS system. The question came up about how many physicians would care to see the image, versus reading the reports. We would want to bring in the demographic information but question whether or not returning the image to be viewed through Meditech would be utilized fully. I would like to know what direction you chose to go - and why. Also, what vendor are you using and why? Has the product given you the benefits you felt it would - return on investment, cost savings, improved process flow and so on. Any insight you are willing to share will be appreciated. As usual, thanks to all for your responses.
