Is a VPN Connection Required for a Cloud PACS?

When connecting a clinical environment to a cloud service, you need to take great care to protect confidential medical data. With the regulatory compliance standards required of medical providers by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 – more commonly known as HIPAA – to keep this kind of data safe, your connection to the cloud must be secure.

Surgeons: Get the Medical Image Access You Need with a Cloud PACS

Having medical imaging available during an operation is paramount to ensuring a positive outcome for the patient. The images stored on a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) can guide surgeons through their procedures, helping them to locate and address an issue in an organ or joint quickly and with ease.

The 3 Cloud PACS and RIS Integrations You Need

A cloud-based picture archiving and communication system (PACS) should integrate with a radiology information system (RIS). When the two systems are integrated, radiologists can work more efficiently because they will always have the patient information they need at their fingertips.

Unfortunately, not all cloud PACS play nicely with RIS, from an integration standpoint, which means you need to be careful when deciding on a solution.

When choosing a cloud PACS for your practice, any option you consider should offer the following RIS integrations to ensure smooth workflows and high productivity within your practice.

Is Your Medical Practice Becoming a Data Center? Rethink Your PACS Strategy

Many medical professionals, including radiologists and surgeons, rely heavily upon medical imaging resources. That's because, as part of their role, they need a way to access images for diagnosis, archive these images within a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and share them with patients, as well as other medical professionals.

While this functionality is essential for providing quality care, what many practices often don't realize are the time and costs associated with maintaining an onsite PACS as their facility's data grows. With increased data comes an increased need for additional hardware, security protocols, IT staff salaries and expenses on utilities, including electric and cooling to ensure the hardware continues to operate smoothly.

For a practice owner, as these costs start to build, and responsibilities for managing hardware become a more costly and time-intensive task, you might be asking yourself, "How did my medical practice morph into a data center?"
