One PACS for several sites

One multimedia PACS for all sites of an organization

One PACS for several sites

Nowadays, there are hardly any medical institutions with just one location. This is the case not only for hospitals and medical care centers, but also for larger radiological surgeries. Naturally, there is a demand for the availability of all data and functions at all sites without having to operate a separate PACS, especially since this would not even guarantee the integration of all data and workflows.
The solution is the inter-site PACS by NEXUS / CHILI. This solution implies the optimization of the workflows between sites, despite slow internet connection and ensures availability of all data at the decentralized site.

Features

  • Local intelligence at the decentralized sites
  • Use of central resources for HIS integration, archiving and telemedicine
  • Inter-site user authentication
  • Client separation (multi-tenancy - logically and physically)

Benefits

  • Independent working at the sites even in the case of network failure
  • Flexibility due to flexible working at each site
  • Facilitated management due to standardized structure and concepts
  • Cost saving due to shared resources at the control center

The CHILI Enterprise PACS is the solution recommended for large hospitals. 

The CHILI Enterprise PACS receives, saves and visualizes DICOM and non-DICOM data and can smoothly be integrated into the existing infrastructure. The software package contains all major functions and interfaces in order to link various in-house systems, such as HIS, RIS, modalities while meeting the IHE specifications. With its integrated web server, the Enterprise PACS comes with web-based image distribution for 50 simultaneous users.

Enterprise PACS

Features

  • Integration with HIS/ RIS
  • Up to 15 modalities
  • 50 simultaneous users in image distribution
  • DICOM Query/Retrieve for retrieval from ten different systems

Benefits

  • Separation of clients: Data may be separated logically or physically into different data areas in order to meet data privacy requirements
  • Adaptation of foreign data: Foreign data from CD/DVD or from teleradiology can comfortably be adapted to the internal IDs
  • Multimedial data: Open for all data: Images , videos and documents in any format (DICOM and non-DICOM)
  • The PACS can be queried from foreign systems via DICOM Query/Retrieve
  • The PACS may be spread over several sites

The professional workplace for radiologists for interpreting medical data. This software is commonly operated with a double monitor or a large monitor, where the contents of two monitors can be displayed simultaneously. Image retrieval can be controlled either from the RIS or from the workstation. Previous studies are automatically made available on the second monitor. Automatic hanging facilitates and accelerates working. The demo preparation is done "along the way" during interpretation by simple drag & drop into the desired demo folder. In the demo, the pictures will be visualized in the same way as at the time of transfer in the demo folder.

Features

  • Synchronization of visualization with HIS/RIS
  • Automatic image arrangement (hanging protocols)
  • Folders for image libraries (demos, rare cases, teaching)
  • True multimonitor concept – even on a "large" monitor

Benefits

  • Fast working due to mutual control of RIS and workstation
  • The demo is prepared "along the way" during interpretation 
  • The same user interface for interpretation, demo and image distribution
  • Smooth requesting of consultations and providing answers to such requests
  • Integration of images into reports or Office documents by drag & drop
