Conversion to a digital imaging environment, such as the one resulting Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation, impacts the entire operation of a health care facility. Moreover it requires all end users and patients to adapt to new workflow and ways to interact and operate. All stakeholders must be considered and properly managed during a PACS deployment in order to achieve expected benefits and objectives in a timely fashion.
