[01:08] Stacie explains her role at the University of Rochester, the scope of the medical center, and why the old technology they were using needed to be replaced [06:28] Stacie describes the process of selecting a new enterprise imaging vendor and the “go-live” date [10:09] Stacie talks about the importance of redundancy and security when transitioning to the cloud [12:49] Selection of Sectra’s enterprise imaging solution and compliance with the governance process [17:47] Stacie explains the approach to making the on-premises-to-cloud transition as smooth as possible for the IT staff and end users [20:47] Stacie offers advice to other healthcare organizations looking to move their imaging to the cloud
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
It is easier to convert the users of an old system to new technology when they can see how that technology will positively impact their daily work. When moving imaging to the cloud, it is critical to partner with a vendor you can trust, as well as one that is innovative and constantly evolving their offering. Cloud is new to many healthcare organizations. Look for a vendor who has expertise and years of experience delivering software as a service.
