It’s hard to believe that the home of New Hampshire’s busiest emergency room, and an orthopedic center of excellence, was once only able to store 30 days of film on canvas. These days, Concord Hospital boasts a state-of-the-art Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and has been named one of the “Most Wired” hospitals by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine.

Before implementing the McKesson Horizon Medical Imaging PACS and taking advantage of PACS benefits, radiologists had a difficult time getting film in the right hands at the right time. The hospital was approaching 145,000 radiological studies a year and was about to add a fourth location. A solution was required—and quickly.
