A Better Option for IT’s Data Management ChallengeBy Shaun Smale

The Data Management Problem

• Data is growing at an exponential rate• Data is complex, time consuming &

expensive to manage• Data protection is problematic• Data sharing is littered with issues of

access, security and interoperability

Especially In Healthcare


Some consider the PACS model to be the way forward, but what about:• Other image data?• Non-image data?• Administrative data?• E-mail?• Data governance?

PACS is often sighted as the example for the management of large volumes of clinical data


Picture Archiving & Communication System (PACS)

• Proprietary viewing• Proprietary WORM storage

PACS: A generator of large volumes of clinical data

Digital Imaging & Communication in Medicine (DICOM)


Departmental Archives

• Expensive locked-in storage

• Data only accessible via PACS

• Limited BCP and DR

• Tape back up for DR


Data Sharing – a PACS Solution

• Sharing via PACS (DICOM)

• Viewing via the web clients


Data Centre-Based, Shared Archives

• Data in silos

• PACS data only

• Tape back ups

• Expensive

• Managed archive

• Resilient Tier1 storage

• DICOM sharing via PACS


IT is being asked to take control and manage the storage of all healthcare data

Choose between:

or

Vendor service contracts on

vendor supplied storage

An owner managed solution


Why Change the Existing Departmental Data Management Model?

Support the needs of all the Clinical users

• Struggling to comply with guidelines and legislation • Focused on DR/BCP of the application, not the clinical department• Demand for enterprise wide and cross enterprise SHARING• Demand for a single view of all clinical data• Extended downtime for hardware refresh and application upgrade• Data silos • Separate hardware and infrastructure for each application

For PACS

• Repatriate PACS data at the end of LSP contract


The Radiology Solution

VNARCHIVEVendor Neutral Archive


But, what is a

Vendor Neutral Archive?

It is many things

to many people!


Replace proprietary image content with DICOM content

Remain departmental service focus

PRARCHIVE

PACS Replacement Archive


CDSARCHIVE

Central Data Centre (LSP model)

Central resilient archive geographically spread over two DCs

Silos of PACS DICOM data


SDARCHIVE

Shared DICOM Archive

DICOM archive for all DICOM applications (inc PACS)

Silos of department and application data, but with standards-based access to all DICOM Images


EIARCHIVE

Enterprise Image Archive

All images: DICOM, non-DICOM and scanned documents

• Universal image viewers

• Support business continuity process by providing direct access to image data


CEIARCHIVE

Cross Enterprise Image Archive

Repository for all Clinical data within a standard XDS environment

XDS-I registry and viewers for all image data
