Adopting an Enterprise Strategy: Considerations Beyond Radiology

Imaging strategy is an enterprise decision

Healthcare organizations worldwide are adopting enterprise-wide imaging strategies that consolidate, structure, and share patient imaging data well beyond traditional service lines.

The value of imaging no longer stops at radiology. Departments across the enterprise increasingly depend on access to clinically relevant images within the patient record, and the strategy that delivers it must account for every one of them.

This paper walks through the considerations that matter most when designing an enterprise imaging strategy suited to your individual needs: from image-enabling the enterprise, to resilience, security, AI readiness, and intelligent routing.

The six considerations

• 01. Image-enable the enterprise. Bring clinically relevant images to every department.
• 02. Downtime viewing. Plan for the downtime that is inevitable.
• 03. Ransomware. Cybersecurity is now an enterprise imperative.
• 04. Data backup. Timely, accessible backup is core infrastructure.
• 05. Artificial intelligence readiness. Build for what comes next.
• 06. Routing and workflows. Get the right study to the right place automatically.

Each one is worked through in full in the paper.
