Pulling It All Together: Picture Archival Communication System (PACS)As a service to Payson area physicians PRMC provides the Picture Archival Communication System (PACS). This is a system that manages digital images and eliminates the use of film-based imaging. It enables the hospital to electronically acquire, distribute, and archive diagnostic images and reports throughout the medical community.
Such immediate -- anytime, anywhere -- access to patient images and reports enables faster diagnosis, facilitates consultation with specialists, and leads to better patient care. Other PACS benefits include improved service to surgeons and referring physicians who have remote access to images and reports, as well as more clinical information delivered to radiologists for more precise, accurate diagnoses. PACS speeds turnaround time and increases efficiency.
Patient Benefits Are Many. For example, in the middle of the night a patient undergoes an emergency MRI. Using PACS, physicians can view the images and consult -- from their office, home, or another hospital, optimizing the potential for quicker diagnosis and treatment than would be the case if doctors had to arrive on site.
