Case Study
Atlanta Medical Center Deploys Enterprise Pacs
Summary
Atlanta Medical Center deploys Enterprise-wide, web-based PACS using existing workflows and secure SSO solution.
The information systems team at Atlanta Medical Center is not only keeping pace with the rate at which technology is evolving in healthcare, they’re taking the lead. A facility with a reputation for technological innovation in healthcare, AMC developed a comprehensive solution to a new challenge faced by information systems management when deploying a PACS client enterprise-wide in a large healthcare facility.
Not all that long ago, radiologists hailed the coming of PACS as a means for increasing the number of images they could read and for extending a certain amount of freedom by making studies accessible away from close proximity to the film library. Now that the film library has gone the way of the fax machine and the cassette tape, today’s radiologists and other healthcare providers have the freedom to read and view imaging studies from various access points within the healthcare facility, from their personal laptops and via mobile devices. However, wider access and increased mobility has brought with it greater complexity in terms of managing system updates, upgrades, monitoring, security and reporting. Ron Gilbert, BS, RT(R), ARRT, PACS administrator with AMC discusses his team’s experiences in workflow optimization and engineering to execute the deployment of the latest version of McKesson Radiology ™ throughout the entire AMC enterprise using standardized workflows that can be easily supported and secured.
