The vision for the PACS Reprovisioning is to establish a national contractual arrangement that is sustainable and can evolve over time at a pace that is acceptable to the NHS in Scotland, helping to achieve a more effective and joined up Imaging environment that supports changes to the clinical workflows required to implement the new Scotland Radiology Model.
The new contract for the PACS Service will aim to:
- build upon the existing national PACS, providing current functionality as a minimum.
- provide a modern, secure PACS system that supports Scotland’s evolving models of care.
- support the Scottish Government’s Digital Health and Care Strategy.
- enable emerging Scottish Government strategies related to integration, digital imaging, radiology transformation and person-centred care.
