Imaging in the Cloud 2021

09 November 21 | Monique Rasband and Sidney Tate

Cloud-based technology is quickly gaining momentum among provider organizations, particularly for imaging solutions. To get an early look at the reality of cloud-based imaging and the vendors best positioned to help organizations transition to the cloud, KLAS interviewed 37 organizations that have adopted imaging technology hosted by their vendor in the cloud (i.e., the organizations are leveraging the public or private cloud to operate or store imaging solutions and/or data); of this group, 20 are doing primary PACS production in the cloud. These organizations almost unanimously report positive experiences. Most have successfully transitioned to the cloud and are seeing beneficial outcomes—e.g., decreased IT burden and improved security. Because of the early nature of this market, all vendor performance data is limited (see the About This Report section). This research is also specific to the United States.
