I was in talks with a corporate which has 3 Hospitals under their banner. They are on the look-out for a single PACS system for all their branches. The PACS would have to handle approximately 6000+ patients a month. The idea is to have a Doctor sitting in one of the Hospitals to be able to access patient images from the cases done in any of the 3 Hospitals. The Doctor would like to just click on a patient (ID) & the images should open up in a viewer (e-film & the rest).
Does PacsOne provide such an option,to open the images in an external viewer, just by clicking on a patient (ID)?
External Viewer
There are many solutions to this requirement of opening up a viewer program using a patient id:
1. As a web-based PACS, you can click on a patient id from the Browse page, which will launch the Java applet viewers (Radscaper, RemotEye, etc.) to display all images of this particular patient.
2. If you are using external viewers such as eFilm, you can query PacsOne from the external viewer and from the list of matching patient ids returned from PacsOne, you can click any patient id and have the external viewer fetch all images of that patient from PacsOne. This solution would require the external viewer must support the Dicom Query/Retrieve functions as a client (SCU in Dicom terminology).
3. If you are using external viewers such as eFilm, you can also configure PacsOne to push received images to this external viewer automatically, by setting up a routing rule in the Automatic Routing page. The external viewer in this case does not have to support the Dicom Query/Retrieve functions as a client, since the images are pushed automatically from PacsOne. Once the images are locally present in the external viewer, you should be able to bring up the patient id list, and click on any of the patient id to view all images of that patient.
