    • Summary
    • The clinical benefits of PACS are the basis for strong growth
    • PACS enables clinicians to provide a higher level of patient care
    • as the benefits of PACS outside radiology are realized, demand will continue to increase
    • despite the benefits and strong growth of PACS there are some inhibitors in the market
    • The cost savings and time efficiency of PACS help to drive the market growth
    • as the cost of PACS falls, there is more uptake occurring among smaller institutions
    • Changing demographics are forcing a reduction in costs and an increase in efficiency
    • The rates at which populations are aging vary considerably between countries
    • The declining health of western populations will increase pressure on healthcare
    • This increased demand is helping the market to grow at a CAGR of 12% from 2006-2011
    • Individual market differences will be critical to vendors
    • The market is now largely dominated by institutions seeking a singular PACS/RIS solution
    • Political will in a country can influence how quickly PACS is installed
    • The market in the US is now predominately focused on small community hospitals
    • The Nordics, and soon the UK, while being mature markets will still show some growth
    • Germany and France have large potential for growth
    • While the market differences are significant countries will look to learn from each other
  • Remaining Competitive in Digital Imaging (Strategy Focus)
    • Summary
    • Further vendor consolidation will occur within the PACS market
    • through consolidation vendors will seek to add applications and functionality
    • Vendors will seek to offer further synergy across the market
    • The American market is looking increasingly attractive to European vendors
    • despite this continental Europe will still offer opportunities
    • Using technological advances innovatively will give vendors the edge in mature markets
    • Developments in technology and usage will be key to success in mature PACS markets
    • These technological advances result in a change in costs structure
    • Conversely, simplicity is the key to immature markets
    • Managed services are likely to be popular within smaller institutions
    • The cost of PACS may seem prohibitive to some
    • Hosting will offer a key strength within immature markets
    • PACS is not just a technology, it's a healthcare solution
    • Clinical benefits will prove a strong selling point in France and Germany
    • The characteristics of PACS require a flexible approach by vendors
  • Actions
    • Cost effectivness will continue to play an integral role in the immature markets
    • Vendors should move the technology forward to help create opportunities within the market
  • Digital Imaging Technology: Understanding Its Changing Role in Healthcare (Technology Focus)
    • Summary
    • A PACS solution involves the integration disparate technology products
    • DICOM has provided a solid foundation for the development of PACS
    • Image Acquisition is the foundation of PACS
    • Networks
    • Storage
    • Image Archiving
    • Image Display
    • Services
    • PACS applications
    • PACS is no longer simply a solution for radiology
    • PACS images are no longer confined to the desktop in the radiology department
    • PACS will be used for images acquired outside radiology
    • Advances in PACS technology means it can now move outside radiology and into other departments
    • as PACS develops the cost of services, proportionally, are increasing significantly
    • Service costs are going to dominate the cost of installing PACS
    • The availability of digital imaging will encourage further development of PACS applications
    • Academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies are now seeking access to PACS
    • PACS for research may be developed further with the use of content management and business intelligence
    • Computer-aided diagnosis is going to become a more prominent tool
    • Providing an enterprise-wide clinical information solution would prove a huge breakthrough for PACS
    • 3-D images are playing a more significant role as the technology develops
  • Actions
    • Vendors need to have a flexible approach to technological developments
    • Developing PACS outside the hospital
    • Strong partnerships are increasing in importance
