ENTERPRISE IMAGING VNA

Top Healthcare Provider

BACKGROUND

This customer is one of the top healthcare providers in the country. Much of its growth can be attributed to the acquisition of other hospital systems. As a result, numerous vendor PACs (Picture Archiving Communication Systems) were acquired. This created significant challenges in the management of the environment.  Collaborating between disparate PACs environments from hospital to hospital was complex to manage, very costly, and inefficient in delivering the business outcome that the clinicians and doctors needed.

OBJECTIVE

The customer was looking to deconstruct their disparate PACs into a vendor neutral archive.  The outcome would result in an agnostic repository to simplify the management of images, decrease cost, and maximize the end user’s experience in accessing data.

WHY ACHIEVE ONE

Achieve One had both the expertise and strategic edge in the technologies needed to support a deconstructive PACs project. The customer was drawn to the flexibility that Achieve One brought to the table both in how the platform would be construed and in how the project would be procured.  The customer was able to utilize a utility model in which they only paid for the actual resources used in any given month.
