During the 2008 Society for Imaging Informatics Annual Meeting, Mark Crowder of McKesson Medical Imaging shared with RT Image magazine the McKesson strategy for successful implementation of enterprise medical imaging throughout healthcare facilities.

In the informative PACS video below, Crowder introduces the concept of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS). He explains how PACS:

• Captures images
• Stores images in a repository
• Distributes images to clinicians wherever they may be

Crowder also shares how the McKesson PACS workflow helps healthcare facilities improve the quality of patient care.

“[The PACS workflow] allows for interaction between the clinician, diagnostician and the patient in one setting,” he says.
