As health systems continue to grow in size and complexity, the need for an enterprise approach to imaging becomes more acute. But while the general direction may be clear, the ultimate destination (and thus the path to get there) will look differently for everyone. That’s because no one is starting from a blank slate (not to mention a blank check) or holds the same priorities; thus the use and arrangement of modalities, PACS, workflow managers, universal/enterprise viewers and VNAs will vary. In this timely webinar, we’ll speak to leaders who can offer principles, frameworks and advice around moving in an enterprise imaging direction so your journey can be a bit smoother.
