The
Thomas Group entered into PACS consulting in 1996 while
assisting a client with the development of an accurate
five-year capital equipment acquisition plan. At the
time, we were new to this growing technology and,
therefore, invested a lot of time into learning and understanding
PACS. It was obvious to us that the new face of
radiology included PACS. Today, The Thomas Group has
helped numerous facilities with their PACS
implementation needs.
With all the diverse and ever-changing PACS products
offered by the various manufacturers, it would be
impossible for any one person to be an expert on every
individual offering. This is why we consider ourselves
to be PACS Implementation Specialists. The Thomas
Group has acquired extensive experience in designing and
implementing PACS over the past few years. We know the
fundamental structure of each of the major vendor’s
products and have worked closely with each of these
vendors. As PACS Implementation Specialists, our
goal is not to tell you what product to buy. Our goal is
to provide the structure to drive you and your facility
through the process of evaluating the various PACS
offerings so that you are able to make an educated
decision that will meet your particular facility’s
needs.
As your advocate, The Thomas Group is a
results-driven organization that assures objective,
cost-effective, time-sensitive strategies that will fit
the operational and financial requirements of your
organization. Our mission is to help you, the healthcare
professional, maneuver through the confusion of PACS.
This is why we custom design our consulting programs for
each individual client. We want to provide you with the
specific services that your facility requires.
To get a feel for what PACS is and how it might fit
into your facility, please take a moment to view
a presentation we gave for one of our clients. This presentation was given on
September 19, 2003, to Computerized Physician/Provider
Order Entry (CPOE) by Dale Hunt of The Thomas Group Ltd.
in association with Vicki Petersen of Premier Purchasing
Partners.
