    Area of Science:

    • Biocommunications
    • Medical Illustration
    • Digital Imaging

    Background:

    • Biocommunications departments often face increasing demands for visual content.
    • Evaluating the cost-effectiveness and operational viability of specialized services is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the cost-effectiveness of computer graphics services within a biocommunications department over a three-year period.
    • To evaluate the impact of computer graphics on departmental workload and staffing.
    • To determine the viability of a satellite computer graphics production unit.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of departmental operational data over three years.
    • Tracking workload changes in art and photography services.
    • Monitoring staff expansion and resource allocation.
    • Assessing the performance and integration of a new computer graphics unit.

    Main Results:

    • Computer graphics implementation proved cost-effective for the biocommunications department.
    • Significant increases in workload for art and photography were managed.
    • Departmental staffing increased by 1.5 full-time equivalents.
    • A satellite computer graphics unit with three illustrators was established as a viable service.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer graphics services can be successfully integrated into biocommunications departments.
    • Specialized units enhance departmental capacity and cost-effectiveness.
    • Strategic resource allocation supports increased demand for visual content creation.
