Regardless of whether that possible PACS future takes root, smooth communication between radiology departments and hospital systems will continue to be a top priority. Meaningful use stage 3, for example, will likely require information to be exchanged between unassociated systems, like the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic, Henri “Rik” Primo, director of strategic relationships, Siemens Healthcare SYNGO Americas says. Cross enterprise document sharing will become important if those initiatives are put into place.

Whatever the approach, it’s clear that PACS have moved far beyond simple digitalization of radiology information to become a key element of a patient’s total health.


“After so many years of evolution, PACS does most of what the radiologists want it to do,” says Deborah Reed marketing manager for Infinitt. “Now there’s more emphasis on the referring physicians, and the service PACS provides them.”
