The second installment in our ongoing series on the myths and realities of PACS deals with the return-on-investment (ROI) analysis, a crucial step in any PACS acquisition.
Dear AuntMinnie Member,
Installing a PACS network can help a hospital reduce its operating expenses, right? Actually, probably not as much as you might think, according to a new article that we're featuring this week in our PACS Digital Community that explores commonly held myths about PACS.
The story, penned by noted PACS consultant Michael J. Cannavo, is the second installment in our ongoing series on the myths and realities of PACS. Among other subjects, this week's article deals specifically with the return-on-investment (ROI) analysis, a crucial step in any PACS acquisition.
For example, does your ROI analysis focus on PACS' ability to reduce expenses? If so, you could be barking up the wrong tree. You'd do better to look at productivity, as PACS enables the same number of personnel to produce more.
