1. PACS Consultancy Services
The most important part of the PACS planning process actually has very little to do
with detailed vendor technical assessment, but rather an assessment of the entire
hospital’s integrated imaging requirements and how PACS can help meet those
needs.
Those requirements vary based on the size of the facility- Make-Way Technologies
has worked with and implemented PACS at facilities as small as 50 beds and as large
over 2,000 beds, as well many multi-site networked solutions.
We understand the challenges each facility offers, including differences in
reimbursement mix, competitive issues, and even making the most out of the
investments made in PACS technology at the facility. These issues are all discussed
before an agreement is signed.
Our focus is not to tell you which PACS you should purchase. We are not PACS sales
personnel. Our goal is to neutrally guide you through the PACS process so that you
are better prepared to make an educated decision regarding your PACS project.
There are many diverse PACS offerings on the market and the healthcare community
has many diverse needs. As your PACS Implementation Specialists, Make-Way
Technologies is here to provide you an unbiased forum to discuss and evaluate the
various PACS offerings. We have worked with all of the major PACS vendors. We
know their product offerings, their corporate structure and their pricing patterns as well.
Evaluating the PACS Vendors
Before your facility actually awards a PACS from your vendor, we will have had the
opportunity as a group to discuss different aspects in several different forums.
 The RFI allows you to compare side-by-side the semantics of the various
vendors.
 On-site demonstrations provide you with a chance to speak to vendor
representatives and view the functions of their Diagnostic Review Stations.
 Vendor site visits expose you to an actual "live" PACS site.
During each of these steps, we help you sort out the information being presented
and make sure that you have asked all of the correct and important questions that will
ensure you are purchasing a PACS that will meet your current and future needs.

thing that Make-Way would provide to you as your PACS consultant is a set of
deliverables that provides a Strategic Work Plan. This Strategic Work Plan outlines
each of the key steps that need to be addressed and completed in order for a
successful PACS implementation. It also provides us a tool to successfully monitor
your PACS project from beginning to end.
