title: Workshop aims, outline of the program.
abstract: This workshop on the Technology Assessment of PACS has been organized as a rounding off of the Technology Assessment activities which were initiated within the Dutch PACS Project (1986-1989). It is made possible by a funding from the Dutch Ministry of Health Care (WVC). We hope it will be not only a rounding off, but will contribute to more intensive cooperations in this area. In the scope of the Dutch PACS project, the software package CAPACITY for cost analyses of PACS has been developed, to stimulate the dialogue and exchange of data. During the workshop, the data which were collected with CAPACITY are used as a framework for discussions. This paper presents the outline of the workshop, its background, its aims and the program.
