  • 1.  outsourced pacs administration

    Posted 12-27-2022 16:03
    We are in the early stages of implementing a single worklist solution.  I was curious if any groups outsource their PACS administration and, if so, what has been your experience, and do you recommend this route?  Any suggestions for companies who provide this service?

    Hope everyone had a splendid Christmas!

    Hi Sheila,

    We are in the same boat implementing a unified worklist. However, in our situation we ended up hiring our own personnel. Between the complexity of the PACS and dictation systems, the number of various hospital partners, the impact on revenue cycle reporting, and the need to control response time for radiologists, we opted for investing in our own team. 

    If you find an outsourced support that works well, I would be interested to know. If nothing else, some help in the IT call pool would be good to have in our back pocket.
