OOPS, I Did It Again....
Dalai's Laws of PACS Published!
I'm published again! Auntminnie.com has graciously posted a revised and expanded version of Dalai's Laws of PACS, accessible here. I guess it was a slow news-day.
I'm waiting for the, um, comments from my friends in IT.

Ok here goes from an IT friend:
PACS IS the Radiology department? Two points to that - surely PACS/RIS IS the Radiology department. And lets not forget PACS IS outside the Radiology department also.
From the AM notes to XI: "There is absolutely no way in the known universe to successfully implement PACS without a guru". You're right. but that's wrong.
The other laws are spot on, but needn't be there if vendors weren't the way they are. And a lot of those would be much less important if a truely high quality open source PACS were available. It's VERY early stages yet but keep an eye here
