Employing the Studycast cloud-based PACS solution enables short- and long-term storage, retrieval, management, distribution and presentation of medical images, providing valuable functionality and countless benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smaller upfront investment, followed by a recurring cost, based on usage.

The Cloud is essentially shared cyberspace, so how can you be sure that your patients\u2019 stored medical, personal and billing information is secure? Rest assured, the safeguards that are put in place often provide a more secure environment than a fixed facility, where almost anyone can open a file drawer or browse through a desktop catalog. The Studycast PACS solution is audited annually and adheres to more strict requirements than a private practice or many hospitals.<\/p>\n<h3>Availability<\/h3>\n<p>Availability is another perceived limiting factor of a cloud service. Although rare, outages do occur, as they do with any on- or off-premise computer system. The astutely responsive Studycast support staff closely monitors client problems and works diligently with required updates to resume all functionality, quickly and as unobtrusively as possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Retrieval<\/h3>\n<p>Another important consideration with moving information to the Cloud is ease of retrieval.
