More PACS Secrets: Why PACS is like marriage

Dear AuntMinnie Member,

PACS industry consultant Michael J. Cannavo can be counted on for a different perspective, and this week is no exception. In his latest article for our PACS Digital Community, Mr. Cannavo discusses how PACS relationships are like marriages.

It's not so far-fetched when you think about it. Like marriage, a relationship between a PACS vendor and a healthcare facility requires a serious commitment that can be derailed by any number of potential pitfalls. Both require trust, hard work, and understanding when disagreements arise.

Mr. Cannavo examines various commonly held myths about marriage and how they also apply in the PACS world -- see if you agree with his unique perspective by clicking here.

In another article we're featuring this week, staff writer Erik L. Ridley writes about a recent clinical study that examined the impact of PACS on physical therapy practices. The study found that PACS dramatically increases the number of imaging studies physical therapists see, and may also improve clinical decision-making.
