Digital Image Management: Tying the Pieces Together

April 25, 2008

Price: Free
Report Format: MP3
Posted: April 25, 2008
Sponsor: Emageon

Like many of its peers, Sisters of Mercy Health System, an 18-hospital integrated delivery system based in St. Louis, has had to learn quickly how to handle a massive archive of diagnostic images during its transition from film to digitized files.

Dennis Shelley, director of enterprise imaging, has overseen the deployment of the infrastructure that digital imaging demands: faster pipes, more effective management of images and a massive ramp-up of storage capacity to handle the ever-growing archive of images.

During this podcast, Shelley talks about the challenges--not all technological--that Sisters of Mercy faced, and how it managed to tie technology and workflow together to manage its massive imaging operations.

Shelley also discusses the next steps for Sisters of Mercy, including its planed adoption of next-generation compression technology to ease the task of managing its digital library. Greg Gillespie, publisher of Health Data Management, moderates this in-depth, honest look at the challenges of going digital on an enterprise scale. The podcast is co-sponsored by Emageon and EMC Corp., Sisters of Mercy's partners in its image management initiatives.
