As medical technology has evolved over the past few decades, new advances in information storage and retrieval have revolutionized the healthcare industry. For many years, storage for x-rays, MRI’s, and other diagnostic images was paper based. High resolution images could not be electronically transmitted between health-care providers: the only way to share diagnostic images across multiple health-care providers was through photocopying and physical delivery.

Data management and archiving technology from Dell can provide a revolution in patient healthcare. Using digital storage, it’s possible to make every diagnostic image taken of a patient available from a central device at the patient point-of-service.

There are many advantages to using an integrated system through Dell PACS. Unified system design means that there is no searching through a variety of systems that can’t communicate with each other. PACS also means no more challenging data migrations, and the subsequent headaches and clinical workflow problems that usually come with data migration.

There are a variety of other advantages for radiologists who decide to digitize their imaging systems. Digital storage allows for both ease in data retrieval and secure storage for healthcare providers.Dell’s service allows for end to end integration, from diagnostic imaging center to the healthcare point-of-service. End users can define retention policies to conform with local and federal healthcare compliance policies.

For information technology departments, PACS allows for simpler overhead management and routine system maintenance. A Dell PACS system also allows for a variety of deployment modes, allowing interfacing with a variety of PACS applications. Since there are fewer demands placed on an IT department, staff payroll can be spent providing more valuable services to a healthcare group. PACS automates much of the routine maintenance that traditional healthcare IT groups must perform, through automated self-healing, retention, replication, and distribution systems.

PACS also helps protect against disasters through automated, policy defined, backup procedures. The Dell On-Premise Clinical Archive allows automated cloud-based backup in a secure environment. Dell follows all federal healthcare compliance policies, and can secure data in a safe, encrypted environment. By using Dell’s cloud based storage technology, it’s possible to scale to meet growing data capacity demands instantly, without the addition of more on-site hardware.
