To keep pace with the evolving dynamics of healthcare delivery, there's a growing need for advancements in imaging technology.
In the rapidly evolving world of medical imaging, the need for a modern storage solution has become increasingly apparent. The traditional storage models, such as CapEx, cloud-based or OpEx storage, and bundled storage tied to PACS or VNA contracts, each introduce challenges that become harder to manage as imaging grows.
One solution that is gaining traction is the Evergreen//One for Medical Imaging, a system designed specifically for enterprise imaging and matching how healthcare operates. Unlike legacy models, the operational risk with Evergreen//One doesn't fall solely on the team.
Evergreen//One offers several key benefits. For starters, it ensures that older studies remain instantly accessible, supporting AI and diagnostic workflows. In contrast, clinicians may lose valuable time waiting for studies like 3D mammography or CT scans to load due to inadequate storage systems.
Moreover, Evergreen//One includes ransomware recovery SLAs, immutable SafeModeTM snapshots, and always-on protection for sensitive imaging data. This level of security is crucial in today's digital age, where data breaches can have severe consequences.
Imaging environments today demand more than just storage capacity. Rising study volumes, AI requirements, and the need for instant access to historical studies all contribute to this demand. Evergreen//One addresses these needs by offering predictable per-study pricing, guaranteed performance, and the flexibility to evolve with the imaging environment.
However, the disconnect between modern imaging demands and traditional storage systems can lead to delays in clinical workflows, slow AI response times, and access issues. This disconnect can be particularly problematic in imaging environments that generate more data than ever, yet reimbursement remains flat, creating long-term cost pressure that traditional models weren't built to absorb.
Siemens, a leading name in healthcare technology, offers an innovative solution for storing medical image data with its PACS system Syngo.plaza. Syngo.plaza guarantees fast and timely access, flexibility for storage environment development, and allows payment per study performed.
In the face of these challenges, it's crucial for finance teams to evaluate their storage costs. Finance teams may see storage costs continue to grow, even after imaging revenue has already been recognized. Procurement teams may face unplanned refreshes and expansion costs due to outdated storage strategies.
To help organisations evaluate their current infrastructure model, Siemens has developed an executive briefing. The briefing provides five key questions to engage stakeholders across IT, clinical strategy, imaging, and finance. These questions aim to determine whether the current infrastructure model is keeping pace with clinical and operational priorities.
In enterprise imaging, access speed, uptime, and workflow performance are just as important as capacity. With Evergreen//One for Medical Imaging, these factors are guaranteed, ensuring that healthcare providers can focus on what matters most: delivering high-quality care to their patients.
