StAtuS of it SyStemS Technology on my mind The majority of our healthcare IT survey base spend their days focused on image management and PACS (92 percent), followed closely by clinical workstations (89 percent) and clinical information systems (86 percent). Data storage (83 percent), disaster recovery (82 percent), networking (82 percent) rank next, followed by speech recognition (76 percent) and EMRs (67 percent). Here’s a snapshot of the systems healthcare facilities have installed, are looking to upgrade, are choosing to develop in-house or are planning to deploy in the future. Enterprise PACS is installed at the most facilities (69 percent), while the highest percentage of survey respondents are upgrading their radiology information system (19 percent). About 8 percent of respondents are developing an EMR in-house, while 13 percent are planning to implement an EMR.

Not too far behind is IS/IT (28 percent) followed by Corporate/Administration (13 percent). The blend of shared IT responsibilities is starting to show in shared positions—whether they be shared by radiology and cardiology, radiology and radiation oncology or radiology and IT. In terms of IT operations responsibility, the majority of respondents take care of 2 to 5 departments. About 27 percent are responsible for one department. The number of remote locations and connections spans from 2 to 10 and 11 to 100, although a few cover 1,000 to more than 10,000.
