Digital delivery of software solutions
The biggest change is yet to come: digital delivery of software updates through healthcare-compliant cloud platforms. This transformation will lead to quicker and easier access to software updates that can help improve patient outcomes, save costs, and tighten cybersecurity.
Medical imaging providers are constantly evolving their software to improve image quality, lower dose, and improve efficiencies. Traditionally, it requires an on-site visit to apply these updates. But service organizations are now employing distributed cloud-based platforms with remote refresh capabilities. With these new solutions, healthcare facilities can have quicker access and deployment of the latest software. Additionally, healthcare facilities will have near real-time access to patches and updates to help close up vulnerabilities as well as stay current on software updates with stronger cybersecurity features. Cloud deployment of software also has the potential to lower total cost of ownership (TCO) of medical imaging equipment.

COVID and its overnight lockdowns drove faster adoption of digital platforms for services. As many facilities resume normal operations, they can now be more deliberate about expanding on these capabilities to reap the added benefits: cost savings, quicker time to resolution, and easier access to software features that can help improve patient care.
