Through the Texas Organization of Rural and Community Hospitals (TORCH), health care facilities and service providers can come together for mutual advantage. A recent case study illustrates the effective business partnership between two TORCH members, Winkler County Memorial Hospital (WCMH) in Kermit, Texas, and MN Systems, creators of FreedomPACS, radiology PACS and off-site storage solutions.
When WCMH, a 19-bed facility, started using FreedomPACS on-site server, diagnostic viewer and remote image storage, the hospital was able to reliably and securely access, share, and store its radiology studies.
The hospital is also seeing significant financial benefits: gaining an estimated 75% in savings on its off-site image storage through FreedomPACS Cloud.
Before FreedomPACS, the county hospital did not have its own picture archiving and communications system (PACS) for its CT, ultrasound and X-rays; instead they were networked into another hospitals’ system and experienced frequent downtime.
“FreedomPACS is a lot faster than our previous system. It’s saving a lot of time for our physicians. Now, our images are onsite and easily accessible,” said Jose Mancha, WCMH director of radiology.
“And, access to our archived images in the cloud is much more effective and affordable than the off-site storage we had previously,” Mancha said.
MN Systems’ FreedomPACS helps WCMH offer the best possible care to the 4,500-plus people who seek emergency help there each year.
Like WCMH, put FreedomPACS cost-effective radiology solutions to the test. To learn more, read the full case study online and contact MN Systems at 855-740-1130, info@freedompacs.net or https://freedompacs.net/contact/
