  • Title: Picture archiving and computing systems: the key to enterprise digital imaging.
    Author: Krohn R.
    Journal: Manag Care Interface; 2002 Sep; 15(9):36-9. PubMed ID: 12244648.
    Abstract:
    The utopian view of the electronic medical record includes the digital transformation of all aspects of patient information. Historically, imagery from the radiology, cardiology, ophthalmology, and pathology departments, as well as the emergency room, has been a morass of paper, film, and other media, isolated within each department's system architecture. In answer to this dilemma, picture archiving and computing systems have become the focal point of efforts to create a single platform for the collection, storage, and distribution of clinical imagery throughout the health care enterprise.
