PACSHealth Score®
The PACSHealth Score® calculates the system's overall health.
A site's PACSHealth Score is based on weighted contributions from system caused anomalies and user caused anomalies on a scale between 0 and 1000. Daily updates of the PACSHealth Score with PACSHealth’s standard trending graph will help sites determine their overall progress towards a more efficient and accurate PACS. This tool has become very effective in noting subtle changes to the overall status of the PACS and can be a reliable indicator of trouble on the horizon.
For large multi-PACS enterprise groups, the PACSHealth Score can be aggregated and compared at the corporate level.
