How PACS Facilitates Communication Within the Radiology Workflow

Facilitating CommunicationPicture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) can significantly improve the radiology workflow. But one of the major challenges facing healthcare organization as they invest in PACS and other enterprise communication systems is the lack of integration between their clinical applications and these systems.

In addition, while PACS streamlines the radiology workflow, the systems also remove “in-person” communications between radiologists and physicians.

That radiology workflow communication gap can prohibit healthcare organizations from providing quality patient care, according to the webinar Creating a Collaborative Imaging Environment sponsored by McKesson and featured on the Aunt Minnie Online Symposia.

But as this informative webinar shows, the McKesson Horizon Medical Imaging Collaboration™ addresses these serious issues. To facilitate communication, it integrates PACS with several communication technologies:

  • Email
  • Voicemail
  • Instant Messaging

View the webinar to learn how improved communication through the McKesson Horizon Medical Imaging Collaboration™ can help reduce clinical errors and improve patient care.
