UK PACS Study Finds Surprising Performance Variances

Providers should look at more than perception of past performance when making buying decisions.

2013-04-16

OREM, UT, April 16, 2013 (Press-News.org) KLAS study finds that the requirement to work through licensed service providers (LSPs) is causing incumbent PACS to be commonly perceived as inferior to newer entrants into the market. The report entitled UK PACS 2013: The View Is Changing looks at leading PACS suppliers and finds that incumbent PACS and newer PACS have closer performance scores than commonly perceived when not delivered through LSPs.

"This is a critical time for PACS," said report author Ben Brown. "One of the findings of the study is that 39 percent of providers in the UK are looking to replace their current PACS. This report looks at comparing the true performances of suppliers with and without LSPs. Some of the findings will surprise healthcare providers."

The report looked at offerings from Agfa, Carestream, FUJIFILM, GE and Sectra and compares performance, mindshare and likelihood to gain or lose market share. The report also looks at the growing RIS and VNA markets.

The report is available to healthcare providers and suppliers.
