PACS Planning and Implementation

Although many organizations have made great strides with digital imaging technologies, the current PACS landscape presents a number of challenges and opportunities.

Market consolidation of vendors has caused service issues and customer concerns. Even with digital processes, many healthcare organizations continue to use paper and have inefficient radiology workflow. Optimized workflow processes will drive efficiencies, reduce report turn-around time, elevate physician satisfaction, and reduce costs.

Aspen can help with PACS systems planning, contracting, and service optimization. We’ll assess existing RIS / PACS systems and workflow to help you achieve 100% filmless digital workflow in radiology. We follow IHE guiding principles to develop integration blueprints that support efficient digital workflow and seamless integration with your EMR. We also provide selection planning and assist with contract negotiations to help you achieve contractual advantages with the right-sized technical architecture, term value of licensing for growth, and a vendor-neutral archive to avoid expensive data migrations and barriers to future vendor change.

Through our implementation management services, we can also shortcut timelines, save costs, and achieve 100% filmless digital workflow in week one after go-live, based on our proven implementation methodology.
