According to a study by IMV Medical Information Division, 80% of U.S. hospitals with cath labs have implemented and are actively using some form of a Cardiology PACS system.<\/p>\n
Cardiology PACS, sometimes referred to as CPACS, is an integrated system that allows hospitals the ability to access cath lab and echo images. Studycast Cardiology PACS in particular, are web-based which means it allows hospitals to access these labs and images remotely from any device with internet access.<\/p>\n
Web-based (aka mobile) medical technology increases the reach for rural community hospitals to provide care. Technicians no longer have to be based solely in a large city or large hospital. Nor do small hospitals need to have full-time cardiologists on-site. The trained technologist on staff can take the image and share it with a reading cardiologist somewhere else. This means more small communities across the U.S. can have access to important heart disease screenings.<\/p>\n
But it is not just access to images that is important, cardiac and echocardiography images that are paired with structured reporting create an ideal integrated Cardiology PACS system for hospitals<\/a> because it streamlines the workflow for all of the cardiologists and administrators in the hospital. This ensures faster and more efficient patient care.<\/p>\n
