title: Evaluation of personnel savings through PACS: a modelling approach.
abstract: The ability to improve the efficiency of the use of medical image information is often believed to be one of the most important potentials of PACS. The organization within hospitals is however complex, which makes it difficult to predict the impact of the system. This paper addresses several methods for the analysis of the organizational impact and proposes a modelling method.
