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.

PACS 2022
08 November 22    |   Monique Rasband and Sidney Tate
The US PACS market is poised for change. Several vendors have made or undergone acquisitions, and some vendors have large customer bases still on legacy solutions. Over 30% of the 368 organizations interviewed for this report are at risk of replacing their current vendor, and organizations are looking for vendor partners to advance their enterprise imaging strategies. Further, industry-wide staff shortages have led to support and innovation challenges among PACS vendors. This report examines how these vendors have addressed this shifting market’s challenges and met the needs of customers with large volumes (300,000+ studies per year) and small/midsize volumes (<300,000 studies per year).
