Reason #1: Their Images Are Huge

Medical imaging is playing an increasingly important role in the clinical development of new treatments. However, capturing, sharing, and using medical records in these trials can pose a few challenges. What is needed is a simple and efficient way to request, organize and present medical records when there are a multitude of medical institutions involved.

Everyone knows that litigation is an expensive process. Both the costs of engaging in litigation as well as the growing size of judgements are adding to the precision required when it comes to trail preparation and court appearances. Medical malpractice and personal injury claim awards in the US are soaring into double digit millions of dollars. 

Healthcare professionals around the world are realizing that Cloud access is making it easier for them to share and access medical images while away from their office or while they are mobile, giving them more flexibility. Sharing medical images for second opinion, with other experts and even patients is an increasingly important aspect of patient care.  Utilizing the cloud to enable sharing allows us to control access to these images without exposing them or violating the privacy of a patient.
