34 Iowa Healthcare Facilities Soon to Benefit From PACS Implementation

Soon, 34 metropolitan hospitals and clinics throughout the state of Iowa will be experiencing streamlined workflow and improved productivity.

That’s because Iowa Health System – the state’s first and largest integrated health system – has partnered with McKesson for an enterprise Horizon Medical Imaging™ Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation.

Iowa Health System conducts an increasing number of procedures every year, and needed a solution that could help physicians and staff deliver high-quality, timely patient care now and in the future.

The healthcare system chose McKesson to replace its former PACS vendor in order to meet its growing diagnostic imaging needs.

The PACS implementation will provide:

  • Fast, easy access to files, images and results for radiologists
  • The ability to make decisions more quickly for physicians
  • Enhanced service for patients, their families and communities in general

With the new PACS in place, Iowa Health System will gain a competitive edge moving into 2010 and far beyond.
