A technology assessment project evaluated a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) in Trieste hospitals. The study analyzed technical, clinical, and economic impacts over two years, comparing PACS to traditional radiology.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Radiology
  • Health Technology Assessment

Background:

  • Hospitals in Trieste implemented a commercial Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS).
  • This implementation initiated a comprehensive technology assessment project.
  • The project aimed to evaluate the multifaceted impacts of introducing advanced imaging technology into healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a thorough technology assessment of a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS).
  • To evaluate the technical, clinical, and economic aspects of PACS implementation in a healthcare setting.
  • To analyze the integration and performance of PACS in comparison to conventional radiology.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study over two years of PACS usage in clinical environments.
