Humboldt (Iowa) County Memorial Hospital has implemented a remotely hosted, on-demand picture archiving and communications system from 7 Medical Systems LLC, Minneapolis.

The 21-bed facility uses the PACS to support computed radiography, CAT scan, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and MRI modalities. The PACs manages and routes about 500 imaging studies a month between the hospital and reading radiologists in the region. More than 60 users at the hospital can pull up images and reports via a Web viewer. Images also can be burned to a disk for patients to give to other physicians.

The hospital has eliminated film and related courier costs except for mammograms, and it is planning to add digital mammography.

More information is available at 7medical.com and humboldthospital.org.
