European Integrated Picture Archiving and Communication Systems, CEC/AIM.
A Picture Archiving and Communication System, supported by a multi-media medical distributed image data-base, will be integrated with all other components of a Hospital Information System (HIS). Several services will be set up for intra- and inter-hospital communication. A EurIPACS infrastructure will be implemented, validated and demonstrated. Integration and a user driven approach are the key elements: integrated in a hospital environment stressing the need for having clinical useful systems; integrated with the other information systems; the departmental systems; integrated by means of standards and coordination with CEN TC 251. These key objectives are in stages of pre-prototying. The first systems are being tested in the labs and prepared for the move to the clinical environment. The implementations will result in a second generation distributed PACS architecture test bed, in '95, installed at several clinical sites in Europe.
