integrating after a merger
 

"Hospital merger, different PACS - how do we integrate without huge costs?"

"My hospital has the OpenMed suite and has just merged with two other facilities, all three now have a different PACS, but these don't "talk" to each other. How do I maximize on this substantial investment, while delivering clinical benefits, cost-effectively?"

Integration solution

Extend the scalability potential of the OpenMed Manager, by reusing the existing PACS connection and installing the OpenMed suite in the two other locations, connecting the OpenMed Managers together, thus creating an enterprise-wide clinical Intranet. Let the OpenMed Managers deal with the delivery of the images and reports across the new enterprise - that's what they are designed to do!

This way all three PACS can co-exist and be independent, producing cost-effective realization of the investment made. Delivery of images and reports to wherever the clinician is located, brings the clinical benefit to the desktop, providing state-of-the-art Web browser based delivery of that information, to the people that need it - fast.
