PACS
A wide source of inefficiencies in health care is the fragment delivery of care and poor transfer of information.
There is variety of new technology created to solve this problem. This technology under an umbrella of telemedicine.
Picture Archiving and Communication System ( PACS ) is one of the best revolution in telemedicine which Improve quality of health care and reduce cost.
PACS provide archives for storage Images which can be X-ray, MRI, CT, PET and Ultrasound and view it not only in Radiology Department, but also other such as Emergency, Clinique and Wards for Inpatient ( 1 ).
For the past 100 years, film was use for capturing, storing and displaying Radiographic Image. In the early 1960s Digital radiography developed. It allow …show more content…
The combination of PACS, along with voice recognition means that diagnoses can be made and authorized straight away.
Improved learning and training opportunities, both for trainee radiologists as they develop their skills and for existing radiologists as there is more opportunity to collaborate with colleagues and share learnings and experience (1).
For physician, fewer wasted appointments and postponed procedures because of non-availability of patient images. Instant access to patient images, regardless of location. Better collaboration and an increase in consultation between radiologists and clinicians.
Experience shows patients feel more engaged and better satisfaction when they can see their images on screen, this can lead to better quality consultations for both the patient and the physician
