On Site
Definition:
Although DarkHorse does not currently offer this option, we can help you identify the on-site system that could work best for you.
Select this solution and acquisition of digital images in a DICOM3 format happens on your site (DR, CR, CT, MRI, US, etc.). You can implement a more secure backup solution by transmitting your images to the DarkHorse Digital Vault. Peace of mind is priceless.
Requirements:
High-speed communications within the clinic (intranet connection). Digital images
should be DICOM3-compliant.
Advantages:
Images are on site all the time and available at any workstation that has the viewing
software installed.
Disadvantages:
On-site PACS requires the purchase of an expensive server, meaning that you have
the upkeep, backup worries, disk space concerns and IT headaches associated with
owning a large server. You will also be required to purchase expensive PC-based
viewing software for each computer used to access images. All your data is housed
in your facility; however, on-site PACS does not allow for easy access of your images
from any computer, nor does it allow you to securely share your cases with referral veterinarians
and/or owners. Connection of multiple clinics is possible, but requires expensive
hardware at each location. Click on the DarkHorse Digital Vault link to see how we can provide you with a more secure backup option. |
