PACS em nuvem: um diagnóstico estratégico para os Hospitais Universitários gerido pela Ebserh

Abstract

Diagnostic Imaging Centers (CDI's) generate a large volume of data. Qualified patient care requires efficient access to all relevant information. Doing so requires a framework for sharing information that meets the needs of service providers, patients, and institutions that make up health systems (IHE, 2017). The concept of data sharing is strategic for organizations with decentralized units such as the Brazilian Hospital Services Company (Ebserh). Able to reduce costs, connect professionals and provide a foundation for various innovations in information and communication technology (TIC) for health. Data sharing is increasingly present in daily life promoting rapid changes in the ways of learning and in the way people relate. The present study aims to understand: Image Units of the University Hospitals (HU's) administered by Ebserh ménage their data to meet the demands of assistance, teaching and research? To answer this question, a literature review was sought to understand how Cloud Computing is contributing to the evolution of Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). Subsequently, the perception of the managers of the Image Units in HU’s was evaluated through a questionnaire, contextualizing the findings with the perspectives and trends in information management found in the review. The conclusion was that the Image Units of University Hospitals need to innovate their processes and adjust more dynamically to the environment where they are inserted; planning actions in a structured and scalable way, that add value to the services provided. The Cloud PACS is an important tool for Ebserh to promote this innovation in University Hospitals.
