Caring for Patient Information: Using a New Approach to Simplify Medical Image Management, Reduce Storage Costs and Accommodate Growth

Overview Healthcare organizations need new strategies for managing patient information, especially film media, such as MRI and X-ray images. Analyzing retrieval patterns for medical images provides valuable insight into the who, where and how often of accessing the data. A data storage strategy based on retrieval frequency and patient-driven performance requirements can result in cost-efficient storage of data throughout its lifecycle. Adjusting the storage infrastructure can simplify management, accommodate future data growth, and maximize the efficiency gained from the new storage strategy.
