How to Choose the Right RIS/PACS for Your Healthcare Institution
The right technology can transform your radiology and imaging operations. That's why it is vital to choose the RIS/PACS system that fits your institution's needs, with a DICOM viewer that boosts your radiologists' productivity instead of working against it.
Below, we present four key points to consider before choosing a new digital radiology system.
Interoperability and compatibility
The first step is to make sure the RIS/PACS is compatible with the technical systems your institution already uses. This ensures a quick transition, with agile, friction-free workflows.
Eden PACS has its own cloud-based RIS, but it is also designed to be compatible with other scheduling systems, voice dictation, and more. Likewise, its DICOM viewer is capable of handling any type of file, from images to PDFs. In this way, Eden creates a complete ecosystem for digital radiology that minimizes technical error and reduces additional costs in infrastructure and software licensing.
User experience
Your radiologists need an agile, 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 lets them access high-quality images within seconds, from any electronic device, doubling productivity and enabling uninterrupted teleradiology.
Eden is not only intuitive for radiologists: its powerful patient portal, Eden Portal, allows results to be sent instantly via WhatsApp, offering access to studies through the first 100% mobile DICOM viewer. This eliminates CD printing costs and speeds up work for both radiologists and administrators, raising your patients' satisfaction in the process.

Security 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 meets basic information protection standards and complies 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 patient and institutional privacy internationally.
Technical support
The availability of technical support is one of the most important factors when implementing a new system. Eden PACS's 24/7 support resolves technical issues within moments, minimizing downtime and avoiding interruptions in patient care. In addition, with the ongoing support of expert engineers, system users are able to learn and make the most of all the PACS's features.
It's time to take your institution to the next level with a complete platform for extraordinary radiology: a 100% cloud-based RIS/PACS system, advanced tools in the fastest DICOM viewer on the market, a patient portal accessible from any device, and much more.
