OTech, Inc.: Provider of HL7, PACS, DICOM Training and Consulting.
Otech provides training and consulting in medical imaging and compliance including HIPAA and quality systems. The healthcare technology company also provides PACS (picture archiving and communication systems) consulting and training. They provide PACS Administrators many educational opportunities using computer-based training, seminars and hands-on workshops, books, and study guides, You can learn about HL7, DICOM, and PACS (picture archiving and communication systems) System Administration along with Advanced PACS Troubleshooting techniques.
Find out about medical imaging schools with online and campus programs and review a directory of medical imaging programs. You can request information from any school. Medical imaging schools include the Pima Medical Institute and Remington College. A list of radiologic technologist, or X-ray tech, schools is also available.
Image Management and PACS: Discussion of normal issues surrounding PACS.
It provides tips on cost justification, implementation, and configuration. It is important to know that a PACS should allow the functional ability not only to distribute images to the requestor but communicate to physicians for patient scheduling. Picture archiving and communication systems have tremendous benefits and values outside of radiology as well as internally. The justification to use a PACS should not depend entirely on reducing expenses. The implementation of a radiology PACS system involves a great deal of planning regarding radiology operations and decisions. Cost justification, resource utilization, and assessment and integration are important. The PACS archive functions of identifying, storing and protecting data are discussed. The installation of a radiology PACS also involves RIS to archive integration, a RIS to Modality interface and an inexpensive way of networking images to the end users and the communications network.

Virtual Radiologic recently merged with and NightHawk. Radiologists have mixed feelings about the new merger and their are a wide range of opinions. Privately held Virtual Radiologic is a publicly traded technology-enabled national radiology practice and a leader in the development of radiologist workflow technology. vRad acquired all of the outstanding shares of NightHawk. The merger will provide enhanced services to radiology groups and hospitals nationwide, accelerating vRad’s stated commitment to optimize radiology’s critical role in the delivery of patient care. The new entity will have 325 radiologists serving nearly 2700 healthcare facilities across all 50 states and reading approximately six million studies annually. Additionally, more than 75% of the affiliated radiologists will be fellowship-trained subspecialists. “NightHawk” has become synonymous with “teleradiology."
