Whitepapers: IMPAX Data Center Streamlines Image Access Across the Enterprise

White Papers

Image access and distribution can be particularly challenging for large, multi-site, multi-facility healthcare enterprises. Often, such sites must manage multiple, disparate PACS and other sources of imaging data. Consequently, image access for clinicians across the enterprise is less than streamlined. In addition, standard health IT challenges such as bandwidth limitations, myriad PC platforms, operating systems, version control and even locked down PCs exacerbate the situation. For many multi-site enterprises, the solution is clinical consolidation as well as integrated storage and management of clinical data from various departments and improved image access via an enterprise visualization strategy which can lead to better patient care.

Inside the Data Center of the Future: The Key to Progressively Managing Data Across the Enterprise

White Papers

As the 21st century advances, healthcare stands to gain as new developments promise to improve diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, healthcare remains a fragmented process. Critical information is available to physicians but it is not linked; reviewing images and data from multiple sources is complex and time-consuming, detracting from optimal patient care. For example, an accurate differential diagnosis may hinge on viewing a patient x-ray and pathology reports. But a simple mechanism to enable the physician to review both is a tall order for many state-of-the-art healthcare enterprises.

CVIS: Streamlining Cardiovascular Image & Information Management

Case Studies

Cardiovascular image and data management can be challenging. Procedures are diverse, and many facilities operate multiple decentralized information systems. Plus, some hospitals and cardiology practices continue to rely on outdated and inefficient technology like tape-based storage for cardiac cath procedures.

How to build a better Healthcare IT infrastructure

White Papers

Practical IT principles for leveraging your infrastructure to improve healthcare delivering a seamless flow of integrated information.

The IMPAX Interface

White Papers

The environment in which a radiologist works requires special consideration of how a diagnostic interface should look and behave. In particular, the design should reflect the reality that users will be in front of the interface for extended periods of time, which can lead to side effects such as eye fatigue, headaches and mood swings. Agfa has studied this physical drain, and through the careful use of color and style we are delivering a way to further improve productivity while bringing much needed relief to the radiologist.

Persona-based Workflow Design

White Papers

Over the time since PACS was first introduced, the traditional user group has expanded beyond radiology to include surgeons and referring physicians. It is therefore obvious that a one-size-fits-all approach can no longer apply. Gain insight into how personabased applications are designed to help healthcare facilities maximize their IT investments while supporting their individual users.

Leveraging the Benefits of Service Oriented Architecture

White Papers

Most hospitals today operate with multiple, incongruent collections of information maintained in departmental silos in incompatible formats. More effective data sharing could dramatically improve productivity and the delivery of patient care. More and more, healthcare facilities are looking to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based solutions as a means of simplifying their application and IT environments and creating truly flexible, integrated IT infrastructures. Keep reading to gain practical knowledge on how to leverage the benefits of SOA with IMPAX 6.
