Asia/Oceania PACS 2025
08 May 25    |   Jacob Brown and Steve VanWagenen
The PACS market in Asia and Oceania is evolving; healthcare organizations are looking for technology that is more robust, especially in Asia, where organizations are wanting to solidify or scale their enterprise imaging strategies. Furthermore, organizations want to work with vendors who can be long-term strategic partners in helping optimize the product. This report—KLAS’ first to share PACS performance data from Asia and Oceania individually—examines satisfaction from customers across 13 countries, specifically looking at relationships, support, breadth of functionality, and each vendor’s ability to meet expectations around product innovation and upgrades.

An update to KLAS’ 2021 research , this report examines vendors’ regional footprint and performance in Latin America. Altogether, customer satisfaction feedback was collected from 127 respondents, representing 95 separate organizations in 12 countries and territories.
