So let’s take a look at a few of the different types of imaging organizations:

• One or Two Radiologists in Private Practice
• Teleradiology Practice with (25) Radiologists
• Large Hospital System with Multiple Imaging “ologies”
• Imaging Center Company with (6) Locations
• (12) Member IDN
• Etc., etc.

No one would question that the medical imaging industry encompasses a diverse community of health care professionals and organizations. From the perspective of long term electronic image and data management, these organizations face different challenges to be sure, but they also share some common regulatory requirements and business challenges as well.

Any medical imaging organization, large or small, is required by the HIPAA Security Rule to maintain multiple, secure copies of diagnostic study data for disaster recovery in the event of a catastrophic data loss, as well as a business continuance contingency plan to maintain services in the event of an interruption to normal clinical operations.

After that it’s pretty much up to the imaging organization as far as the implementation of clinical and technological “best practices” for image and document sharing (XDS, XDSi, etc.), system interoperability, standards conformance, etc. It sounds like there is no “one size fits all” panacea solution for this diverse group. Or is there?
