Ms. PACS: The HITECH Act, part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), and its impact on radiology is foremost on the minds of everyone in healthcare. Critical questions surrounding the language of the Act remain unanswered.
- Will PACS and RIS qualify for reimbursement under the "meaningful use" definition?
- How will interfacing radiology PACS and EMRs impact radiology workflow?
-Will there be a return-on-investment (ROI) through these image exchange networks?
To gain better insight on the matter, Imaging Technology News spoke with healthcare IT research and development expert Don Woodlock, vice president and global GM of GE Healthcare Integrated IT Solutions.
its so nice to know that GE is focused purely on the benefits to the facilities and the patient vs marketing
ReplyDeleteI was totally impressed with the pacs radiology system. The office that I work at purchased a bran new one right after I started working there, and I got to learn how to use it with hands on training and experience. As a radiologist I completely love using the pacs radiology because its so clear and picks up every image that a radiologist could ever possibly want!
