Hospital In Information Systems & Hospital Integration
HIS, RIS, PACS, EMR/EHR
Ongoing relationship of PACS with HIS & EMR
Hospital Integration

PACS/RIS
PACS and RIS
Existing trends with future challenges & solutions
Overcoming today’s PACS/RIS biggest challenges

Emerging trends in healthcare imaging technology in
context with integration and interoperability
Taking information and turning it into meaningful outcome and
workflow with technology-driven tools, i.e., mobile, Big Data,
Analytics, etc
Transforming image management and exchange strategy with
cloud based integrated solutions.
Streaming technology as opposed to client-server
Imagizing EMRs - standardiz standardization and normalization onto the
single platform in an heterogeneous system environment
(different PACS systems)

Basic Concept of VNA
MAPS: Multimedia Archive
VNA: Vendor Neutral Archiving
Future Migr Migration using VNA
Enterprise-wide VNA
Building VNAs encompassing all "ologies", i.e. radiology, cardiology,
pathology, etc.,not just radiology.
Impact of VNA on traditional PACS vendors. Will the game and
strategy be changing?

An Overview of Teleradiology & Telemedicine
Improved Interpretations Of Medical Images
Data Security
Preservation of Confidentiality

KPI's for PACS/RIS
Quali Quality, Safety & KPI’S
KPI’S for PACS-RIS operational excellence
The keys to operational success in managing PACS
performance.
Improve productivity, efficiency and diagnostic accuracy
in PACS

Advancement in VNA
Developing a strategy: VNA, MAPS, RIS, PACS, and clinical viewers
How VNAs can help to achieve interoperability goals
Why should consider a VNA?
Re Requirements of VNA
Challenges to set up a VNA, including migration challenges
How a VNA can integrate the EMR, DICOM, HL7, MWL, Non DICOM,
etc.
The Future of the VNA: From Centralised Storage to an Information
Exchange
The Business Case for Cloud Infrastructure and VNA Software
as-a-Service (Saas)
Open Source VNA and zero footprint viewer integration framework
based on IHE , FHIR and HTML5.
