When Southeast Alabama Medical Center decided to implement a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), the 400-bed facility was no stranger to advanced healthcare technology. In the several years leading up to the PACS implementation, hospital leadership had embraced information technology and successfully implemented several McKesson clinical solutions. The next step was to create an enterprise clinical image repository that could grow with the medical center.
Watch this video to learn how the organization implemented PACS stations in all OR and ER suites to streamline communication between radiologists and other personnel. Hear from Southwest Alabama Medical Center administrators, including PACS Administrator Scott Griffin and CFO/CIO Derek Miller, on how the PACS implementation has helped them achieve:
- 90% decrease in film use
- Annual savings of almost $500,000
- 11% increase in radiology volume without additional technical staff
