Enterprise Imaging

Enterprise imaging brings together all imaging exams, patient data and reports from across a healthcare system into one location to aid efficiency and economy of scale for data storage. This enables immediate access to images and reports any clinical user of the electronic medical record (EMR) across a healthcare system, regardless of location. Enterprise imaging (EI) systems replace the former system of using a variety of disparate, siloed picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), radiology information systems (RIS), and a variety of separate, dedicated workstations and logins to view or post-process different imaging modalities. Often these siloed systems cannot interoperate and cannot easily be connected. Web-based EI systems are becoming the standard across most healthcare systems to incorporate not only radiology, but also cardiology (CVIS), pathology and dozens of other departments to centralize all patient data into one cloud-based data storage and data management system.

Radiology practice sues broker for allegedly letting insurance lapse the same day it suffered a cyberattack

Raleigh Radiology is seeking $1 million-plus in damages, alleging that Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. failed to renew its cyber liability insurance ahead of a ransomware attack. 

Christina Caraballo, MBA, HIMSS vice president of informatics, explains that healthcare system data is increasingly moving into the cloud. Healthcare is catching up to others industries in the consumer space that already leverage cloud data storage and computing power to enable instant, anywhere access to data.

Healthcare IT data storage is moving to the cloud

Christina Caraballo, MBA, HIMSS vice president of informatics, explains that healthcare data is increasingly moving into the cloud to keep up with the times and allow immediate, instant access.

Josh Gluck, Pure Storage vice president of global vertical alliances and solutions, explains hospitals need to do more homework when it comes to which healthcare data storage solution is best for them - cloud or on-premise data centers.

On premise vs. cloud healthcare data storage: Which is better?

Hospitals need to do their homework when it comes to which solution is best for them, Pure Storage's Josh Gluck told Radiology Business at the  HIMSS23 meeting.

Learning app improves reader performance for prostate MRI

Interactive teaching app improves reader performance on prostate MRI

Experts involved in the app’s creation suggested that because it was designed to mimic real life, its use among emerging radiologists could potentially help address the issue of subjectivity and reader variability in interpreting mpMRI scans of the prostate.
