Q&A With Dr. Dan Chernoff: The Formula for a Successful PACS Implementation

Glen Falls Hospital

Glens Falls Hospital and its affiliated private practice radiology group, Adirondack Radiology Associates, needed a way to effectively manage medical imaging and reports across the enterprise. Faced with fragmented imaging records across a wide geographic region and facilities, these providers opted for a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation to create a unified view of patient records and increase clinician productivity and satisfaction.

The Medical Imaging Talk Blog discusses the successful PACS implementation with Dr. Dan Chernoff, radiologist and director of radiology at Adirondack Radiology Associates.

The two organizations had never worked from common clinical information and medical records systems; they maintained information in separate silos.
