Dear PACS Insider,
In PACS as in life, things are not always as they appear. Conventional wisdom is also suspect, and may not provide the best strategy for prospective PACS buyers, according to PACS consultant Michael J. Cannavo of Image Management Consultants.
In the first of a four-part series, Cannavo takes aim at a number of shopworn ideas, including the fallacy of the one-size-fits-all PACS network and the voluminous request for proposal (RFP). He also lends readers his thoughts on estimating the total cost of ownership and the wisdom of foregoing PACS service contracts.
