The right technology can transform your radiology and imaging operations. That's why it's vital to choose the right RIS/PACS system for your institution's needs, with a DICOM viewer that boosts the productivity of your radiologists instead of working against them.

Here are four key things to consider before choosing a new digital radiology system.

Interoperability and compatibility

The first step is to ensure that the RIS/PACS is compatible with the technical systems that your institution already uses. This ensures a quick transition, with agile and frictionless workflows.

Eden PACS has its own cloud RIS, but it's also designed to be compatible with other scheduling systems, voice dictation, and more. In addition, its DICOM viewer is capable of managing any type of file, from images to PDFs. In this way, Eden creates a complete ecosystem for digital radiology, which minimizes technical error and reduces additional costs in infrastructure and software licenses.

User experience

Your radiologists need an agile and intuitive workspace to optimize their work. Eden PACS offers advanced tools such as 3D reconstruction, MPR, PET-CT and vessel analysis at the click of a button, in addition to having the fastest DICOM viewer on the market. This allows them to access high-quality images in a matter of seconds, from any electronic device, doubling productivity and facilitating uninterrupted teleradiology.

Eden is not only intuitive for radiologists: its powerful patient portal, Eden Portal, allows you to send results instantly via WhatsApp, offering access to studies in the first 100% mobile DICOM viewer. This eliminates CD printing costs and streamlines work for both radiologists and administrators, increasing your patients' satisfaction in the process.

Safety and Regulatory Compliance

In a digital medical system, data security must be as robust as the platform itself. It is essential to ensure that a PACS system complies with basic information protection standards and compliance with privacy regulations, such as HIPAA.

Eden PACS is certified both in these regulations and in the ISO 27001 standard for cybersecurity systems, thus guaranteeing the privacy of patients and institutions at an international level.

Technical Support

The availability of technical support is one of the most important factors in implementing a new system. Eden PACS's 24/7 support allows technical problems to be resolved in a matter of moments, minimizing downtime and avoiding interruptions in patient care. In addition, with continuous support from expert engineers, system users are able to learn and make the most of all the features of the PACS.

It's time to take your institution to the next level with a complete platform for extraordinary radiology: a 100% cloud RIS/PACS system, advanced tools in the fastest DICOM viewer on the market, a patient portal accessible from any device, and much more.
