This project deals with the design and implementation of a communication, archiving and visualization system of medical images for the Cercado Health Network, which is made up of 33 Health Establishments. The main objective is to integrate the clinical information generated, improving the workflow, efficiency and quality, through the adoption of digital technologies in the management of medical images. The developed system integrates a PACS which allows the storage and centralized access of medical images, a DICOM web viewer that facilitates the visualization of medical images, from any device with an Internet connection; and an automated reporting system which streamlines the medical report generation process.
The implementation of this system has proven to be an effective solution, showing various benefits. There has been an improvement in communication and collaboration between health facilities. Physicians can quickly access medical images and reports, facilitating clinical decision-making and improving continuity of care. In addition, image management has been optimized, eliminating the need for physical storage, and facilitating the search and recovery of previous studies. This has allowed health professionals to quickly and securely access the information necessary to diagnose and treat patients. The results obtained support the adoption of digital technologies in the management of medical images, providing benefits in terms of communication, collaboration, data management, and security of medical information.
