PACS 2025
28 April 25    |   Ciera Walker and Monique Rasband
Healthcare organizations anticipate many technology changes in the PACS market, with AI and cloud platforms being top of mind. As PACS vendors work to deliver innovations, they still need to provide strong performance so organizations can deliver quality care and meet patients’ needs. In this market, two key areas impact customer success: (1) a vendor’s responsive support and proactive guidance and (2) the pace and quality of product development. Focused on traditional PACS models (front-end diagnostic viewer and a back-end archive), this report examines how well vendors meet customer needs in these areas. Performance data is broken out by two image volume groups: less than 300,000 studies per year and over 300,000 studies per year. Note: PACS solutions are just one piece of wider healthcare imaging strategies. For more information on imaging software, see KLAS’ Enterprise Imaging 2024 and Cardiology 2025 reports.

Cardiology 2025
12 February 25    |   Ciera Walker and Monique Rasband
Because cardiology is a highly complex environment, the effective use of cardiology HIT solutions requires healthcare organizations to proactively manage structured reporting, procedure and equipment changes, and image archiving. Currently, organizations are considering what is next for their cardiology imaging solution, specifically with the cloud and AI, and cardiology is increasingly being considered as part of enterprise imaging. Still, healthcare organizations commonly feel their solution’s development is stale and that structured reporting is challenging. In this complex space, vendor relationships have become a marked differentiator, as organizations highly value support and training from engaged, knowledgeable contacts who can help guide users through the solution’s complexity. To help organizations find which vendors may best meet their needs as well as what elements are most necessary for success, this report examines customer satisfaction with cardiology vendors (especially around their support and training), customers’ future plans with their cardiology solutions, and the adoption of structured reporting. Additionally, an update on customer satisfaction with hemodynamics solutions is provided. Note: Respondent organizations may be using multiple cardiology solutions and/or a hemodynamics solution; not all respondents could share feedback on each module or on their hemodynamics solution.

Imaging AI 2024
27 November 24    |   Jonathan Christensen and Monique Rasband
The number of FDA-approved AI solutions for imaging has ballooned to over 300 in recent years, and during that time, adoption of various solution types (AI platforms, operational/reporting AI, and pixel AI) has also increased dramatically. Just over 50% of surveyed organizations are starting to use AI algorithms for at least one imaging use case—a significant jump from 2018, when 17% of interviewed organizations were piloting or live with an AI solution. To understand the prevalence of imaging AI adoption, this report draws from interviews with 206 US-based organizations (about 25% are imaging groups; remainder are health systems) and shares an early look at which solutions are most used and considered in this crowded market. Note that this report doesn’t explore customer satisfaction with AI solutions; KLAS intends to address this in future research. Note: This report focuses on AI used for diagnostic imaging, workflow triage, and other imaging-specific use cases. It does not cover general AI tools, including those used for ambient speech or voice recognition.

Imaging in the Cloud 2024
04 June 24    |   Monique Rasband and Sidney Tate
The healthcare imaging market in the US is moving to the cloud—nearly two-thirds of the 228 healthcare organizations surveyed about their cloud road map either are using the cloud for diagnostic image viewing and/or storage or are likely to start using the cloud within the next three years. As organizations transition, it is critical for them to choose a vendor that provides not only a reliable cloud solution but also strategic guidance to ensure a successful migration. Intended to help organizations considering the cloud, this report shares customer perceptions of their vendors’ readiness for the cloud, along with an overview of the state of cloud adoption in the imaging market.

Enterprise Imaging 2024
16 April 24    |   Monique Rasband and Sidney Tate
Healthcare organizations are very focused on enterprise imaging (EI) advancement. Two-thirds of the organizations interviewed by KLAS about future EI plans are likely to expand their VNA image storage or extend their universal viewer (UV) to additional service lines in the next two years. Organizations are also increasingly taking advantage of promising new technology like artificial intelligence (AI) and the cloud. Meanwhile, both vendors and healthcare organizations face budget and staffing shortages and rapidly changing market needs. This report (1) examines how vendors stack up in meeting clients’ ever-growing EI needs and (2) shares a broader analysis of progress in the EI market.

PACS 2023
30 November 23    |   Monique Rasband and Spencer Corbett
The PACS market is in flux—about one in five organizations interviewed by KLAS in the last two years is planning to replace their PACS, and more report they would replace their system if given the opportunity. This market shift is driven largely by organizations (1) replacing aging/legacy technology with go-forward platforms, (2) consolidating platforms, and (3) continuing to move toward unified enterprise imaging strategies. Organizations replacing their PACS are seeking vendor partners with a vision for the future and a strong commitment to innovation. This report examines 90 recent PACS purchase decisions validated by KLAS between September 2021 and September 2023 to understand why certain vendors are being considered, selected, and replaced in this dynamic market.

Optum/Change Healthcare Merger
16 August 22    |   Boyd Stewart and Sam Eaquinto
In January 2021, Optum announced their intentions to acquire Change Healthcare. The merger remains unfinalized, however, as the US Department of Justice blocked the deal in February 2022 due to anticompetition concerns—such a merger would give UnitedHealth Group, Optum’s parent company and the nation’s largest insurer, access to rivals’ sensitive data. The legal proceeding is ongoing and scheduled to go to trial August 1, 2022. This report shares Optum and Change Healthcare customers’ reactions to the merger and their perceptions of its impact. Between March 2021 and April 2022, KLAS interviewed 48 individuals from 46 unique organizations; of these respondents, 9% are Optum customers, 56% are Change Healthcare customers, and 35% are customers of both vendors.
