PACS: (Picture Archiving and Communication System) With the development of devices in the field of radiological imaging, increased imaging requirements in the diagnosis and treatment process, increased number of sections with imaging techniques, repeated shots in different locations and additional costs associated with these repeated shots, as well as additional radiation dose amount and increased shooting and service costs given to patients service quality. In addition to all these problems, the number of trained radiologists is insufficient to meet this need and the increasing share of imaging problems has brought with it unacceptable difficulties. Also, older generation solutions that can cause a variety of problems, such as increased imaging demands, increased storage costs with increased number of sections, and increased security problems, are no longer able to meet current needs.
AKGÜN Central PACS Solution Approach In addition to this rapid development in technology, health institutions need to switch to the Digital Hospital concept for more efficient, safer and more accurate management and to respond to the paperless hospital concept which has become compulsory with regulations and to create permanent solutions to the existing problems.
AKGÜN Central PACS With this system, which collects reference and location information of reports and images in the center, it will be ensured that the images can be accessed from their locations using low bandwidth and hospital's current archive capacity. It provides a faster, better quality, effective and comfortable health service to patients, doctors and radiologists by directly querying each hospital to find the patient's images, allowing them to be accessed and viewed directly from their hospital without wasting time and effort. This system also eliminates communication problems due to low hardware configuration, increased security need or problems in the data center and other hospitals will be able to continue their work without interruption.
With the AKGÜN Central PACS System, patient images and reports coming from various Modality or PACS systems are converted into formats in accordance with international standards for the storage and management of information centrally. Physicians can access all the examinations and approved reports recorded in the system from any location where access to the AKGÜN Central PACS System without questioning the information of the relevant patient without having to know where the old examinations and reports of the patient are, without any loading to the scanner.
AKGÜN Central PACS System;
• Ensures the continuity and integrity of the health services to be provided to patients at all levels by providing information to be shared with authorized clinicians at all levels of treatment, regardless of where the patient's radiological images and reports are located.
• Reduces cost by preventing repeated examinations due to information sharing.
• The physician informs the patient about his / her past by providing access to the examinations and examinations of the patient applying to another health institution.
• It enables the exchange of information between doctors and provides the most accurate diagnosis for patients in a shorter time.
• Gives freedom to receive services from the desired hospital without interruption of information.
• It can offer you a very wide network with low bandwidth and low archive capacity. • Does not require high initial investment cost.
• Ensures that hospitals can continue to communicate even if there is a problem in the data center.
• Provides access to geographically remote areas to compensate for lack of specialists.
• Provides the right diagnosis to be reached earlier by sharing information on emergency and especially on night consultation.
• Improves quality.
AKGÜN Central PACS, which is an inter-institutional data sharing system, provides medical images and radiological reports produced in health facilities to international standards and provides access to these images and reports from anywhere without being connected to any hospital.
