Medical imaging and storage

Solutions for medium healthcare organizations

Improve the quality of care and patient safety, and control the growth of costs with medical imaging and storage solutions for healthcare. These solutions can help you centralize, distribute, archive and manage medical images, while improving workflow.

The advantage

With the pressures of increasing costs, labor shortages, reduced payments for procedures, and the need to improve quality of care, today's healthcare organizations are challenged to do more with less, while improving patient safety.  In this fast-paced environment, medical imaging and storage virtualization solutions such as Grid Medical Archiving Solution (GMAS) facilitate digital image storage, access and workflow, and enable remote diagnosis and consultation across the healthcare enterprise and beyond.  Enhanced integration of digital imaging with both internal and external clinical data helps IBM provide comprehensive, security-rich and cost-effective imaging and storage solutions.  In addition, as data needs to continue to outpace the longevity of storage media, IBM can help you leverage your existing infrastructure to develop a long-term strategy for data archival and storage.  IBM and IBM Business Partners have helped many hospitals transform their operations with innovative medical imaging solutions, while protecting long-term storage investments. 

Medical imaging and storage solutions form IBM and IBM Business Partners are affordable, flexible, secure, scalable, tested, and proven -- and they leverage IBM's leading servers, storage systems, software, services and more.  The solutions can be implemented in phases, so you can roll out by department, building, or entire campus --  and remote sites -- as the needs arises and funding becomes available.
