PACS Filing Software Improves Access to Patient Healthcare Records

A new picture archiving and communications system (PACS) filing software offers the capability to store PDF documents in encapsulated PDF Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format in the PACS archive, linked to specific patient studies.

Medima Solutions, BV (Leiden, The Netherlands), a leader in solutions towards the paperless healthcare enterprise, announces the worldwide release of PacsFiler. The product is designed with significant input from leading-edge radiology departments and users, offers a continuing roadmap towards the paperless healthcare environment, while improving productivity and access to patient healthcare records.

PacsFiler is the latest product from Medima as it builds on the successful global market installation base achieved by PacsPrinter, first introduced in 2005. The advanced features of PacsFiler build on significant technical advancements from the healthcare information technology (IT) marketplace and incorporate extensive feedback from a wide range of experienced Medima users, country distributors, and global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Medima designed PacsFiler based on a clear understanding that PACS systems users are demanding the capability to store PDF documents related to patient studies within the PACS and directly linked to the patient study. The simplest and most effective means to accomplish this are incorporated in the newly released PacsFiler product while focusing on the workflow of radiologists, technologists, and administrative staff. By enabling direct access to both documents and images, saving time in accessing patient information, Medima continues to develop solutions to advance better care through paperless operations.
