PACS and its Hospital-wide Implementation: A Case Study at the Madigan Army Medical Center


Abstract
PACS represents the future of radiology in modern hospitals. Workstations and databases can be developed to substantially increase clinician's productivity, improve diagnostic accuracy, and make a large amount of knowledge and patient information
available on-line to the physician. Currently, there are several hospitals in the process of implementing a total PACS system. They include Madigan Army Medical Center (Tacoma, Washington), VA Hosital in Baltimore, and Hammersmith Hospital in
London
(I)
In order to provide the radiologists, the clinicians, and other health personnel in Korea with the general concept of PACS and its up-to-date status report, we describe the MDIS System being implemented in MAMC (Madigan Army Medical Center) which
is the
first hospital-wide large-scale PACS in the world. The major PACS components in MAMC have been installed since March 1992 and the full system implementation will be completed by summer 1993. The goal of the MDIS System in MAMC is to increase to
more
than 90% filmless by the end of 1993. In this paper, we discuss the introduction and background of PACS and its potential benefits, the current status of PACS installation in MAMC and the future plan, and the flow of image data and text
information
in
MAMC.
