By GlobalDataMemorial Medical Center medical imaging director Marjorie Calvetti said the hospital’s new image viewer gives physicians on-demand access to imaging data and patient information from web-enabled devices such as Apple iPads, enabling them to make treatment decisions quickly.
"This new capability also allows doctors to enhance their communication with patients by explaining the patient’s condition and allowing them to view their medical exams," Calvetti added.
The hospital’s Vue Archive now supports radiology, cardiology, neurology and radiation oncology exams to enable the facility to achieve the cost and management benefits of a consolidated storage platform.
The upgrade was a major undertaking since the hospital had not upgraded its PACS and archiving platform for more than five years.
Calvetti said the company conducted advanced training for radiologists on the new features prior to implementation, and the trainers came back the week hospital went live to address any questions.
"Several weeks later Carestream conducted a final round of advanced training for radiologists to ensure that they were fully proficient on the new tools," Calvetti added.
"Carestream’s planning, preparation and training all contributed to a smooth transition."
