A common complaint is the difficulty in getting traction for Enterprise Imaging (EI) Systems in health care systems, especially in IT departments.
Looking beyond radiology and cardiology to build a system to collect, index, manage and communicate images of all types throughout the enterprise is a large and complex undertaking. Key steps in developing a plan are to size the project, establish a governance structure, and lay out a roadmap. Determining the magnitude of the Enterprise Imaging Project provides information that will aid in developing the strategy, the governance structure, and the roadmap.
The attractiveness of the economy of scale of cloud services has drawn many health system CIO’s attention for some time when looking at medical image storage. Now that Enterprise Image Archives are coming, CIO interest in the cloud has increased as has the number of companies offering cloud services to healthcare.
Just as PACS is not just about radiology, Enterprise Imaging is not just about the Enterprise. Incorporating images from outside the Enterprise must be managed as well.
