Case: Site Visits

During a site visit to a mid-sized hospital, the imaging informatics team is tasked with evaluating the CT imaging workflow. The hospital has reported frequent delays in image retrieval and occasional system downtimes that affect patient throughput. The team needs to assess the current PACS setup, network infrastructure, and integration with the hospital's electronic health record (EHR) system. The goal is to identify bottlenecks and propose solutions that align with the hospital's operational goals and market trends, such as the growing demand for teleradiology services.
