PACSHealth(TM) Product Review

Medicexchange News - Medicexchange News
The PACSHealth application is a third party bolt-on solution to PACS. The primary mission of PACSHealth is to investigate data errors and clinical workflow interruptions before they are presented to a working radiologist. PACSHealth is able to do deep investigations around meta-data in PACS by taking a snap shot of that data and presenting data back to the user the customer would otherwise not see until an event occurred.

Editor's Note:

"We find PACSHealth(TM) to be a cutting-edge PACS solution with viral word-of-mouth growth."

PACSHealth™

Small, midsize and large hospitals who are well versed in PACS and have been working with metadata around PACS for quite some time.

Key Function:

Near time System Monitoring:

PACSHealth provides a near-time system to monitor the critical events in PACS. By near time, PACSHealth means that every 5 minutes it looks at critical system parameters, such as:

* Inbound and outbound Q monitors
* Status and health monitors
* Database transfer and performance times
* Exam work flow status*

*Exam work flow level allows administrators looking at PACS and Radiology departments to find opportunities to optimize work flow.
Direct Connection to the Database:
PACSHealth, unlike some of their indirect competitors, is directly connected to the database, and therefore, are able to access data that is accurate and correct immediately back to the end user of PACSHealth.

Transactional Datalogues:

PACSHealth uses transactional datalogues that can track each transaction with a PACS over a long period of time, and aggregate that data together to use evidence-based, data driven decisions about why certain activities take different periods of time at certain locations.

Audit Trail Management:

PACSHealth offers the ability to track individual transactions. PACSHealth is used and well received around the world, even though built around the US compliance (HIPAA and regulatory compliance) model, even in countries without the U.S. regulatory environment. PACSHealth offers one environment that can manage compliance issues and present the user the ability to search user logs and make strong management decisions.

Additional Features:

Bolt-on Solution to PACS:

PACSHealth supports multiple PACS vendors, sits on its own separate server, is truly a zero footprint application which means that there is no software to install on the PC, no ActiveX or Java code to be in the browser, no need for seed licenses, and the application is open for use.
