The advancement of digital technology has impacted all of our lives in some way, and it’s no different in a chiropractic setting. One of the most significant ways that digital technology has changed chiropractic care is in the realm of diagnosis. In the past, diagnosis was often a more subjective process, relying heavily on the practitioner’s experience and expertise. However, with the advent of digital imaging technologies such as MRI and CT scans, diagnosis has become much more objective.
The development of technologies including Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) has helped transform how healthcare organizations operate. These images and technologies provide practitioners with a clear view of the structure and function of the spine, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and treatment.
PACS has proven itself to be a crucial tool for chiropractors, radiologists, and physicians alike, by allowing them to quickly and easily share digital diagnostic images. Along with being an invaluable technology in its own right, PACS is now evolving to be a cloud-based solution. This advancement of digital technology provides chiropractors with a wide range of benefits, some of which we’ve outlined below.
One benefit is that it allows for greater storage capacity and easier access to patient records. Another is that it enables chiropractors to share files and information with other healthcare providers more easily and securely.
In addition, cloud-based systems offer enhanced security features and are typically more reliable than on-premise systems. As a result, they can help to improve the quality of care that chiropractors are able to provide.
In this post we’ll explore the benefits of cloud-based PACS for chiropractors.
