The Current and Future Market for PACS Professional Services in Europe
Frost & Sullivan, Jan 2006
Customised Individual Solutions Required to Combat Complexities in PACS Installation
Increasing emphasis on improving the workflow in the radiology departments of healthcare institutions in Europe has led to greater demand for picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) due to their ability to digitise the imaging process and archive the images. Currently, with the installation of radiology information systems (RIS) on parallel tracks with PACS, the technical profile of generic PACS is becoming increasingly complex. Simultaneously, the installation of local and wide area networks (LAN and WAN) to provide adequate bandwidth and essential archiving has augmented existing complexities. Hence, vendors will need to produce fully integrated workstations that offer a consistent user-interface for all the modalities. Despite the standardisation provided by the digital communication in medicine (DICOM) platform, gaining a competitive edge in the market will depend on vendors’ ability to offer customised individual solutions.
