Overview
Intracom Telecom presents an innovative, integrated solution offering of PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) As a Service. Having adapted the highest level of expertise in the area of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Intracom Telecom offers PACS/RIS Services using Cloud Computing architecture.
In this model Hospitals, Diagnostic Centers and other HealthCare Institutes are capable enjoying the full functionality and benefits of a PACS/RIS system through Broadband Network connectivity, while they minimize the capital investment that is usually required.
Intracom Telecom's Cloud PACS solution is a cloud-based medical imaging offering. Physicians can share, analyze and visualize medical images while collaborating with colleagues online. Healthcare professionals are now able to access medical studies anytime from anywhere with the only use of a zero-footprint client, free of the previous necessity to restrict themselves to isolated workstations.
By combining server-side rendering with progressive streaming and a feature-rich multimodality web viewer, it delivers unprecedented visualization performance of large datasets even over low Internet bandwidths. The image processing functions are handled on the server, so there is no need to download any data to the local device. The web client is platform independent and can run on Windows, MacOS, iOS or Android operating systems and supports many browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome.
Highlights
Outcomes
A lot of benefits and strong differentiation points against competition have been identified to come along with this PACS 'As a Service' hosted implementation.
The customer is no longer liable for any constructional/operational datacenter costs.
The pricing module, following the CLOUD main principles is consumption based - tied directly to the number of studies performed annually.It is an inherently elastic solution as the number of users, client workstations and number of hooked up modalities are practically unlimited and with no extra cost for the customer.
It is a fully web-based solution, with no extra cost for new workstations, as nearly any existing PC of the hospital with an Internet connection is considered as a valid PACS workstation.
It's a centralized solution, as the remote Datacenter, can host different members of the same group of Hospitals - in a common instance - meaning that any medical study coming from any member Hospital will be automatically available to the rest of the members.
READ FROM ANYWHERE is a new standard which could lead to new flexible labor models (Teleradiology, instant access to high expertise medical personnel etc).
Finally, Intracom Telecom as the Service provider owns the technology which ensures availability and security to the highest standards, while the customer remains to be focused on core business.
