What is PACS implementation?

PACS implementation refers to the process of installing and configuring a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) in a healthcare facility. PACS is a medical imaging technology used for storing, retrieving, presenting, and sharing images produced by various medical hardware modalities, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. The implementation involves integrating the system with existing hospital information systems, ensuring compatibility with imaging devices, and training staff on its use. A successful PACS implementation improves workflow efficiency, enhances image accessibility, and supports better patient care.
