Case: Interoperability

A 55-year-old male patient presents with persistent headaches and dizziness. The attending physician orders a CT scan to rule out any intracranial abnormalities. The hospital uses a PACS system from Vendor A, while the CT scanner is from Vendor B. The radiology department needs to ensure that the images are correctly stored and accessible through the hospital's electronic health record (EHR) system, which uses a different vendor. The challenge is to ensure seamless interoperability between these systems using appropriate standards.
