Focus On Efficiency And Patient Care With Urgent Care PACS

In an urgent care setting, urgent care digital x-ray can offer physicians and patients the information they need for speedy and accurate diagnoses.  Taking only seconds to create a digital medical image, and with the ability to enhance the image on the clinical workstation, the physician in urgent care can get the data needed to take care of the patients efficiently through the use of urgent care digital x-ray systems.

There are both urgent care CR and urgent care DR digital x-rays systems available for emergency room use.  CR systems work well for smaller medical clinics and for all medical facilities where there is a need to continue using film x-ray equipment but a desire to upgrade to digital x-ray systems, because with CR systems you can retrofit your existing film x-ray equipment, so that you can expand your digital x-ray system at your time schedule and on your budget.  DR systems take the x-rays with the highest digital resolution and provide a great choice for the urgent care room.  Both systems are portable if need be, and both are fully compatible with an urgent care PACS system.

With a PACS software system in place, you have more flexibility and versatility built in to you digital x-ray equipment.  The PACS turns a personal computer into a medical workstation suitable for viewing, distributing and archiving digital medical images.  With the addition of a RIS system, you can also include text files that can be saved in the DICOM format, the same format used to save the digital x-rays, so both reports and images can be stored in the same digital format for easy retrieval and use on the workstation, letting you focus on your patients instead of the details of digital image storage.

A digital x-ray system, unlike a film x-ray, takes only seconds to create.  This saved time not only improves efficiency, but in the urgent care environment the speed can also save lives.  Digital x-rays can also be sent on local area or wide area networks or even over the Internet to consulting physicians, leading to improved efficiency and better patient care.  Patient digital medical records can be saved in DICOM format and archived according to HIPPA rules, and retrieval is then easy using the workstation  outfitted with urgent care PACS.

Dicom Solutions offers a wide variety of urgent care digital x-ray and PACS systems suitable for all manner of medical environments, including that of urgent care and emergency rooms.
