The need for a strategy around medical imaging as one clinical tool
A typical hospital's radiology services account for 40% to 60% of medical images, but specialties like cardiology, orthopedics, and dermatology also require access to these images. Although medical images are a key clinical tool for multiple disciplines, they remain largely unintegrated into hospital EMR systems, imposing a challenge for physicians outside the hospital to access them.
Moving medical images and related informatics to cloud services like Amazon Web Services (AWS) can give a better picture of patients health and yield valuable insights, but healthcare organizations must have a well-defined strategy in place before adopting the cloud.
Executive brief by:
I like to remind people that cloud vendors currently sell the vision of the product to come. The vision is where we want to get to, but the product may not be quite there. This is where working with a trusted partner that understands short-term and long-term healthcare, healthcare imaging, and cloud services is vital.

More from the author
“Before your move to the cloud, you need to know what you want from your cloud service and how the cloud provider will ingest, store, and make accessible your clinical images and the associated data. You need to know what services are provided beyond migration and storage to help you manage the data in both the short and long term.”
