one that provides a compelling clinical experience, of

course. Unfortunately, this is often overlooked or is not

explored completely. With many different clinical needs

and many people to support, the evaluation of medical

image viewers can become a technology evaluation.

While any new technology must fit within your IT

infrastructure, your enterprise imaging strategy will have

limited impact if the viewing capabilities are not robust

enough.

IT ’s EAsy TO DE F I N E Th E KEy TECh N ICAl FEATU R Es OF A G R EAT U N IVE R sAl VI EWE R:

Supports a virtual server environment

Scales to accommodate high usage

- Features a zero-footprint web viewer

Performs federated queries of archives

However, a truly great universal viewer is a part of a

broader enterprise image viewing layer that fits a much

broader range of clinical settings. These include:.

configurable User Interface: configurable from

simple to advanced

Stand-alone clinical access: capable of secure

operation inside and outside of the eMr

Tool sets: Supports a wide range of measurement

tools and 3D capabilities

Study timeline: Providing a summary view of

available patient exams

Bandwidth optimization: optional memory caching

with no PHI residue

alternate PacS viewer: Delivers multi-monitor

review with configurable display protocols

Which features are important to your physicians today and tomorrow?

Use this checklist to prioritize your enterprise imaging needs and see if a simple viewer is enough for now.

For each row, reflect each clinical requirement as eITHer a current need, or a Future need. Then, rank each of the

following from 1 (lowest priority) to 4 (highest priority):

Clinical Requirements

Current Need (1-4, 4 highest)

Future Need (1-4, 4 highest)

a single medical image viewer is needed for use within the eMr

There are multiple PacS systems that need unification

outside physicians need a better way to send in images

Physicians need better access to advanced 3D imaging tools

Total Score Current Needs Score:result Between

sTE P 1) Ch ECK yOU R WOR KThe Total Score for Current and Future needs combined should add up to a total that ranges between 4 and 16.

sTE P 2) Ch ECK yOU R CU R R E NT N E E Ds sCOR EIf your score is 4 or less, a simple viewer is probably enough to meet today’s needs. If it’s more than 4, you need more than a simple viewer.

STe P 3) c H ec k yo U r F UTU r e n e e D S S c o r eIf your future needs exceed your current needs, then it’s unlikely that a simple enterprise viewer will meet your long-term objectives.
