HOW COMBINING DICOM ARCHIVING AND ENTERPRISE CONTENT MANAGEMENT
(ECM) CAN PROVIDE ADVANCED INTEGRATED CLINICAL INFORMATION

It is a necessity to develop an integrated, enterprise-wide medical imaging and clinical information strategy. Specialty
departments such as radiology, cardiology, obstetrics, pathology and dermatology are generating images and disparate,
unstructured clinical information and storing it in silos. Healthcare organizations need to implement a comprehensive clinical
information strategy to capture, view, share and archive images and other unstructured data alongside their structured content.
Clinicians need easy access to this information from multiple types of devices including mobile technologies. Traditionally,
integrated medical imaging and clinical information solutions were developed independently for departments such as
radiology and cardiology. It was quickly determined that a wide array of other departments could benefit from these integrated
solutions. Soon data repository silos of clinical information emerged presenting inefficient process challenges for clinicians.
Combining digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) archives within the enterprise content management
(ECM) solution turns the challenge into an opportunity as it helps the organization establish a clinical information strategy to
capture, view, share and archive images and information in order to improve patient care. By combining the DICOM archives
with ECM, the organization can improve operational and business process efficiencies. This integrated advanced clinical
information solution provides a single point of access to DICOM and non-DICOM content available without the need to log
into different systems or reselect the patient. Taking this a step further and connecting the DICOM archive and ECM solution
to the organization’s electronic health record (EHR) provides a more comprehensive view of the patient record with access to
patient and episodic documentation thus improving the quality and continuity of patient care.
