Picture archiving and communication systems project management using web-based tools.
As the technology of picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) improves and implementation becomes more widespread, the project management of deploying substantially large, multiple-facility systems becomes an integral part of success. A successful deployment requires project support from the initial planning and surveying to the final acceptance, even encompassing support during active use of the PACS. The sharing of information between project stakeholders of a PACS implementation can be daunting at times, but with the flexibility of the worldwide web, this aspect can be eased. This report speaks to the tools and usability of the worldwide web to disseminate project management information for planning, implementation, and support of any PACS implementation--anywhere. This sharing of knowledge prepares the end user for what will be available for them when the complete systems is in place, allowing for a smoother migration to PACS.
