Glen Falls Hospital

Integrating a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) with an existing Radiology Information System (RIS) is nothing short of a challenge. But a PACS integration with two existing RIS ups the ante even further.

For Glen Falls Hospital in New York, and its affiliate private practice radiology group Adirondack Radiology Associates, a new PACS would have to do just that. The two organizations had never worked from common clinical information and medical records systems; they maintained information in separate silos.
