Dear AuntMinnie.com Member,
Do your summer travel plans include this week's Symposium for Computer Applications in Radiology in Boston? If so, don’t pack your bags until you read this week’s featured article on how to buy a PACS, in our PACS Digital Community.
In the story, PACS industry consultant Michael J. Cannavo covers the do’s and don’ts of PACS purchasing, and uncovers some industry myths in the process. For example, did you know that many facilities go through the request for proposal (RFP) process even though they’ve already decided in advance which PACS they’ll buy? Mr. Cannavo tells you why.
The article also explains why PACS purchasing can be fraught with peril for many hospitals and imaging centers. Personal bias, preexisting relationships, and opinionated radiologists who refuse to compromise can also wield negative influences over the acquisition process.
Learn how to navigate these minefields before you hit the SCAR exhibit floor by heading to the PACS Digital Community, at pacs.auntminnie.com. And make sure to come back to AuntMinnie.com beginning Saturday for our daily updates from the conference.
