one that provides a compelling clinical experience, of
course. Unfortunately, this is often overlooked or is not
explored completely. With many different clinical needs
and many people to support, the evaluation of medical
image viewers can become a technology evaluation.
While any new technology must fit within your IT
infrastructure, your enterprise imaging strategy will have
limited impact if the viewing capabilities are not robust
enough.

However, a truly great universal viewer is a part of a
broader enterprise image viewing layer that fits a much
broader range of clinical settings. These include:.
configurable User Interface: configurable from
simple to advanced
Stand-alone clinical access: capable of secure
operation inside and outside of the eMr
Tool sets: Supports a wide range of measurement
tools and 3D capabilities
Study timeline: Providing a summary view of
available patient exams
Bandwidth optimization: optional memory caching
with no PHI residue
alternate PacS viewer: Delivers multi-monitor
review with configurable display protocols

Which features are important to your physicians today and tomorrow?
Use this checklist to prioritize your enterprise imaging needs and see if a simple viewer is enough for now.
For each row, reflect each clinical requirement as eITHer a current need, or a Future need. Then, rank each of the
following from 1 (lowest priority) to 4 (highest priority):
Clinical Requirements
Current Need (1-4, 4 highest)
Future Need (1-4, 4 highest)
a single medical image viewer is needed for use within the eMr
There are multiple PacS systems that need unification
outside physicians need a better way to send in images
Physicians need better access to advanced 3D imaging tools
Total Score Current Needs Score:result Between
1 and 16
Future Needs Score:result Between
0 and 16
sTE P 1) Ch ECK yOU R WOR KThe Total Score for Current and Future needs combined should add up to a total that ranges between 4 and 16.
sTE P 2) Ch ECK yOU R CU R R E NT N E E Ds sCOR EIf your score is 4 or less, a simple viewer is probably enough to meet today’s needs. If it’s more than 4, you need more than a simple viewer.
STe P 3) c H ec k yo U r F UTU r e n e e D S S c o r eIf your future needs exceed your current needs, then it’s unlikely that a simple enterprise viewer will meet your long-term objectives.
