Powered by Nandico PACS
In today’s interconnected healthcare landscape, radiology centers are expanding beyond single locations to serve patients across multiple cities and regions. With this expansion comes the challenge of managing large volumes of imaging data while maintaining speed, accuracy, and security. Traditional on-site PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) often fall short in meeting these evolving demands.
This is where cloud-based PACS solutions like Nandico PACS are transforming how multi-site radiology centers operate. Let’s explore how Nandico PACS empowers radiology networks with advanced features, seamless access, and streamlined workflows.
1. Centralized Access to Imaging Data
The most powerful benefit of a cloud-based system is centralization. With Nandico PACS, all imaging data from multiple locations is stored in a secure, centralized cloud. This means radiologists and clinicians can instantly access scans and reports from any center in the network.
There is no need to manually transfer data using CDs, hard drives, or complex VPN setups. Whether a patient undergoes a scan in Delhi and consults a doctor in Mumbai, the imaging data is available in real time. This ensures faster decision-making, better coordination, and improved patient outcomes.
2. Seamless Collaboration Between Locations
Multi-location radiology centers need strong communication and collaboration between radiologists, technicians, and specialists. Nandico PACS offers tools that allow healthcare professionals to:
- Share studies and reports with a single click
- Add annotations and comments
- Chat in real-time within the platform
These features eliminate delays caused by phone calls or emails and allow experts in different locations to collaborate on complex cases efficiently.
3. Real-Time Remote Reporting
One of the biggest advantages of Nandico PACS is the ability to enable remote reporting. Radiologists don’t need to be physically present at the site where the scan was conducted. They can log into the cloud PACS from any device with internet access and start reporting immediately.
This flexibility is a game-changer for:
- Managing night shifts and emergencies
- Supporting high patient volumes
- Enabling 24/7 service without increasing staff at each site
4. Lower IT and Hardware Costs
Traditional PACS systems require on-site servers, backup systems, and regular maintenance at each location. These infrastructures are expensive to purchase, update, and scale.
Nandico PACS eliminates the need for local servers. It runs on a secure cloud environment, significantly reducing IT expenses. Radiology chains can add new centers without investing in costly hardware—making scaling affordable and fast.
5. Faster Turnaround Time (TAT)
Speed is critical in diagnostics. Cloud-based PACS from Nandico ensures that as soon as an imaging study is completed, it is uploaded to the cloud and ready for review. Radiologists from any location can view and report it instantly.
This reduces patient wait times and increases the number of reports a center can generate each day, improving both efficiency and revenue.
6. Enhanced Data Security
Handling medical data comes with legal and ethical responsibilities. Nandico PACS ensures that all data is encrypted during transmission and while stored in the cloud. It also supports:
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Role-based access control
- Regular security audits and updates
Nandico PACS complies with major data protection laws including HIPAA, GDPR, and Indian data security standards, giving radiology networks peace of mind.
7. Simple Integration With Existing Systems
One of the challenges of adopting new technology is compatibility with existing hospital or diagnostic software. Nandico PACS is designed to integrate easily with:
- Hospital Information Systems (HIS)
- Radiology Information Systems (RIS)
- Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
This ensures smooth adoption without disrupting current workflows or requiring complex reconfiguration.
8. Easy Scalability
As radiology chains grow, their imaging systems must scale too. With traditional PACS, each new location requires fresh hardware and software installation. But with Nandico PACS, expansion is simple.
You can:
- Add users and centers with a few clicks
- Maintain access control per location
- Scale storage as needed with no downtime
This makes Nandico PACS ideal for fast-growing diagnostic brands and hospital chains.
9. Improved Patient Experience
Patients today expect convenience and fast service. With Nandico PACS, their imaging records are accessible across all your locations. They don’t need to carry physical films or wait for days to get reports.
Radiologists can view prior records easily, leading to better diagnosis. And patients benefit from:
- Faster service
- Fewer repeat scans
- A more connected care experience
10. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
In the event of technical failure, server crashes, or local disruptions, on-site PACS systems can cause data loss or operational downtime. With Nandico PACS, imaging data is securely backed up in the cloud.
Automatic backups and disaster recovery systems ensure uninterrupted access and quick restoration of data—critical for multi-site operations where delays can affect patient care and business operations.
Conclusion
For modern radiology networks operating across multiple sites, a reliable, secure, and scalable imaging platform is essential. Nandico PACS offers exactly that—empowering centers with real-time access, cost savings, data protection, and workflow efficiency.
If you’re a multi-site radiology provider aiming for seamless operations and superior patient care, switching to Nandico PACS can be the key to your digital transformation.
