Technology continues penetrating the healthcare sphere, providing physicians with comprehensive solutions able to improve patient care.
Radiologists, in particular may choose from a wealth of imaging systems to store and share images:
1. Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS);
2. Radiology information systems (RIS);
3. Hospital information systems (HIS).
Their combinations are also able to enhance the workflow and productivity within the department:
1. RIS + HIS;
2. PACS + HIS;
3. PACS + RIS + PACS.
However, there are no perfect systems — each of them needs adjustments, for example additional features or integration with third-party software.
Thus, before pumping money into an imaging solution, it’s paramount to consider all possible pros and cons.
