I will not have to lease any extra space for computers; have to worry about losing data with two separate servers (a flood could take out one and I'd have a back up in a different location - can your office server do that?); save on file room space and staff, and will be able to send reports and images on-line to referring docs;subspecialists; or to the patient, if she wants. I am a firm believer that web-based can be safe, secure, and a part of our future.Lisa Lewis in Coloradonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10485390.post-1124074347295461402005-08-14T22:52:00.000-04:002005-08-14T22:52:00.000-04:00I still do not understand how all of the advantage...I still do not understand how all of the advantages that Brad describes are gained via a Web based PACS. Whether the PACS is web or not, a system can still be brokerless, flexible, inexpensive, easy to deploy, easy to upgrade, etc. A web based PACS still requires somewhat complex servers and configurations, etc. The advantage for me, and the only one, of a web based system is the ability to 'launch' the application from the web. This opens up opportunities that are endless. Now granted, that is a huge advantage, but I just dont think that people are conveying the advantages of web based PACS very well, and espescially not in this tidbit by Brad. I would love to see data on whether web based PACS perform better, are more reliable, are more secure, etc. And for those requests, I would love to see real examples, and not any high level, marketing focused, buzz word based responses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
