As health organizations are considering replacement of their imaging systems, they are considering an integrated and standardized approach to image interpretation and sharing for a shift to value-based care.Radiology is the hub of imaging in a hospital, yet much of the patient data required for accurate diagnosis resides outside the department. An enterprise-wide imaging and communication strategy can connect systems--where patient data has been traditionally siloed--to extract the relevant and necessary patient information for display in a radiology PACS. It's important to keep that broader-based goal in mind when putting an integrated imaging system in place, because images are critical to care planning that continues even after a radiologist has provided the report. Unfortunately, it's still common for providers and referring physicians to exchange images via CD and giving it to the patient to bring to an appointment with a specialist. This is error-prone, inefficient and yields a file that might be indecipherable by the next facility's PACS. It's far better to have an enterprise imaging capability, where an image can be sent electronically in a standardized format in real time to the appropriate treatment site.As health systems consider next-generation imaging systems, they are focusing on the benefits--from helping clinicians make better decisions to sharing data more effective throughout their facilities and with other providers. In an effort to help the organizations find the suitable solutions for their medical imaging needs, Healthcare Tech Outlook is presenting to you a special edition on medical imaging technologies. We hope the valuable insights from industry thought-leaders and the innovative solutions from leading as well as emerging companies featured in this edition will help you in making informed decisions in your organizations.Building an Interoperable Medical Imaging World*Some of the Insights are based on the interviews with respective CIOs and CXOs to our editorial staff
