Manufacturers and importers of taxable medical devices should be expecting a 2.3% tax on US sales. For those of you that fall into this category, be sure to report the sales of your taxable devices to the IRS by the right deadlines. [P.

Any surgeon knows that “going in blind” is never step one. However, no one can predict when a local PACS will crash, internet service will be down, or even if the power will go out. If you happen to be in surgery, unless if you have the physical films present, you are taking a great risk. Don’t be caught without a roadmap to your operation. Here’s an idea for a backup solution for such a predicament. [P.

But are you really getting the most efficiency out of your existing solution? What if a patient visits a satellite location? Is it cumbersome to get your hands on their images and records in the moment you need them? Is it easy to collaborate with your colleagues on those tough cases, or do you have to hunt them down, and make sure you both are in the same room at the same time? If any of these scenarios ring a bell, keep reading. We have a simple solution for you. [P.

However, are you getting the most out of your solution? Chances are that if you are still using a local PACS, you are not. Upgrading to a Cloud PACS solution can significantly help make your workflow more efficient and effective. Why not save some time and maybe even improve medical outcomes while you’re at it? Here’s a sneak peak at some of the advanced features a Cloud PACS can provide you. [P.

Yet, when you make that choice, you also might have to figure out how your medical records will transfer to your new provider. Sure, your previous physician might offer to send your records over. However, you don’t know when or how those records will get to their new destination. It is also possible that you are hesitant for this transport, as you know that no mail carrier is 100% guaranteed to get your package delivered on time, in tact….or at all. Nobody wants their x-rays, blood tests, and other private health information to be floating around in the universe. We get it, and we have a way to make this entire process less of a nuisance for you. [P.
