Summary
In an interview with healthsystemCIO, Dr. Rob Bart, CMIO at UPMC, explores the transition to an enterprise imaging environment at UPMC. The initiative aims to consolidate various picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and move those images to a Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA). This approach ensures images are easily accessible for clinicians and patients, enhancing care delivery and efficiency. Dr. Bart emphasizes the importance of managing change and securing buy-in from clinicians, illustrating how the integrated platform will reduce cognitive load and improve clinical workflows. He also outlines the steps and challenges in migrating to a unified imaging system, reinforcing the need for collaborative change management to achieve successful implementation.
