The Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) at St. Joseph Hospital combines the latest in digital radiology procedures with state-of-the-art image management and retrieval for doctors. The system's ease of use and streamlined workflow allows for immediate access to the entire patient imaging record at the click of a mouse.
Doctors have the ability to review multiple imaging procedures at the same time, perform pre- and post-procedure comparisons, 3D post-processing analyses, dictated reports, scanned documents and procedure logs, and can even review image procedures performed at other medical facilities.
The PACS system also provides remote reading capability via a secure remote login connection for St. Joseph Hospital-affiliated physicians. The physicians have immediate access from their home, office or abroad. With 24/7 access to the patient imaging record, the PACS system is a critical diagnostic tool for improving patient care and outcomes.
