Are you struggling with integrating your imaging stacks? Interoperability issues are not uncommon in this situation, which is why many imaging centers have turned to vendor neutral archiving (VNA) solutions in the cloud.
Or maybe you’ve been burdened by VPNs in your traditional approach to managing your disparate imaging systems? Adopting a cloud-based VNA solution is the key, because doing so can help you consolidate your imaging systems into a scaled silo.
New adopters of cloud-based VNA solutions gain instant access to medial images, even secondary versions of them, as well as relevant data that helps improve their workflow while providing patients with better care. Cloud VNA solutions also give you:
- Complete Access
With the right provider, your VNA will allow you to access images regardless of what type of viewer you’re on. You can even get access via a smartphone or tablet computer. - Scale for Growth
Working with a partner with cloud-based services gives you flexibility. You can immediately get the services you need now, yet be prepared for future growth. - Better Routing
When your images need to get out to other specialists and doctors, cloud-based VNA services do that for you and fast. No more waiting around or utilizing substandard sharing methods such as CDs.
Choosing a VNA solution that will be the right fit is critical. The following are a few things to look for when you weigh which vendor will be the one for you:
- True VNA will allow you to adapt to unstructured healthcare data as it evolves.
- You need to make sure your VNA solution integrates with other technologies that you utilize, including electronic health records.
- When you get the right VNA, you will have access tools that allow access to data from outside of your own department.
VNA is a real gamechanger, which is why the conversation about it is not going away.
