1 CARESTREAM Cardiology PACS Now bring the advantages of digital workflow to cardiology

2 The single system advantage Now there s ONE Solution. 2 A large and growing number of health care facilities are benefiting from the advantages of PACS solutions in their radiology departments.

3 3 But even among these facilities, many still rely on outdated, separate systems for managing cardiology images and information. The need to maintain and troubleshoot these multiple, disparate systems places a burden on IT staff and consumes valuable resources. Patient care can be affected too. The need for doctors to learn and log on to multiple systems in different locations to access patient images and data slows workflow, and can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. Single facilities may use multiple paper and transcription-based reporting options, making registry compliance labor-intensive and time-consuming. Finally, accessing prior patient data from manually managed tape or DVD archives can consume valuable time of physicians and technologists.

4 CARESTREAM Cardiology PACS: The solution has arrived. Unprecedented image access Capture, review, report, store and distribute cardiology images, reports, and clinical data from any DICOM and many nondicom devices using a single, multimodality solution. Physicians can access patient images and data from within the enterprise, or from remote locations such as their office or home virtually anywhere there s a networked PC allowing work to occur where the resources are. They gain a more comprehensive picture of the patient s condition, resulting in higher diagnostic confidence and greater speed in implementing treatment. And, you ll save money and time by not having to own, maintain, and troubleshoot multiple systems.
