Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...
Storage01:23

Storage

A schema is a mental framework that helps individuals organize and interpret information. Schemata, formed from previous experiences, influence how we process new information: how we encode it, the inferences we make, and how we retrieve it. For instance, a schema for what a typical classroom looks like might include desks, a teacher's desk, a whiteboard, and students in such an environment. This expectation helps us quickly understand and navigate new classrooms without needing to analyze each...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging Informatics
  • Cloud Computing Architecture

Background:

  • Diagnostic imaging procedures have increased significantly, straining current Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) storage and retrieval capabilities.
  • Smaller healthcare centers often lack the financial resources for traditional PACS infrastructure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a Cloud-based PACS archive architecture addressing storage needs.
  • To ensure data privacy, integrity, and availability in a cloud environment.
  • To provide an alternative to traditional PACS for institutions with limited resources.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a Cloud-based PACS archive architecture utilizing ubiquitous cloud computing power.
  • Ensured provider independence and instantiated core modules with two cloud providers.
  • Compared operational metrics of the cloud solution against a local PACS using various medical imaging modalities.

Main Results:

  • Successfully developed a PACS-as-a-Service archive for medical studies using cloud storage.
  • Demonstrated a robust solution enabling storage, querying, and retrieval of medical studies comparable to local PACS.
  • Validated the feasibility of cloud-based medical data repositories.

Conclusions:

  • Cloud computing provides a scalable, 'pay-as-you-go' solution for IT infrastructures, software, and applications.
  • The proposed architecture effectively utilizes the cloud for medical data repositories.
  • This approach can significantly reduce IT infrastructure costs for healthcare institutions.
