Global Vendor Neutral Archive Market, 2017-2025
The Vendor Neutral Archive is the trending technology in the medical imaging for archiving the images and files that are related to significant medical history. The Vendor Neutral Archive Technology is an improved version of Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) and also has more to offer. The medical images and documents are stored in the standard format with the simple standard interface. The factors that are driving the vendor neutral market are the standard based image storage and the interoperability between the picture archiving and communication systems in the various departments and enterprises. The cost benefits and technological benefits are majorly responsible for the growth of the market. The flexibility and accessibility offered by the vendor neutral archive technology over the picture archiving and communication systems

However, the data breaches that affects the privacy and security of medical imaging data, manipulations done in vendor neutral archive technology and the larger vendor neutral archive lifecycles are some of the major factors that are restraining the growth of the vendor neutral archive market. The complexity of the vendor neutral archive technology and absence of harmonization in the industry is hindering the vendor neutral archive market. The picture archiving communication systems store data as per the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) standards to maintain uniformity but on the other hand different companies have different formats for storage and hence the vendor neutral archive market here helps in maintaining the centralized storage and universalization of the image format. The demand for archiving the medical images for accessing and sharing
Upgrade of the Trust’s old legacy mainframes systems to convert to a more efficient software system called “Access Plus”, an asset management system developed by Select One.
This case involves a patient, Dixon, who suffered irreversible brain damage because a code cart was not properly stocked. The medical team had to intubate her in order for her to be placed on a ventilator. Once she was stabilized, it was determined by her physician to begin the weaning process and have the patient extubated. Following the extubation, the respiratory therapist felt that it was in the best interest for Dixon to continue to receive oxygen support through a mask; however, there was not one available in ICU so he went to another unit to obtain one. Upon returning, the patient was not breathing appropriately and another code was called which required her to be immediately reintubated.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, is a law designed “to improve portability and continuity of health insurance coverage in the group and individual markets, to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in health insurance and health care delivery, to promote the use of medical savings accounts, to improve access to long-term care services and coverage, to simplify the administration of health insurance, and for other purposes.”1 HIPAA mandates that covered entities must employ technological means to ensure the privacy of sensitive information. This white paper intends to study the requirements put forth by HIPAA by examining what is technically necessary for them to be implemented, the technological feasibility of this, and what commercial, off-the-shelf systems are currently available to implement these requirements.
For this essay, we will review the facts of a potential tort case involving Empire Courier Service’s employee, Dave and the injured person, Victor. This is a case involving agencies and their liability to third parties. Dave, a driver for Empire Courier Service is the agent and currently in an employer-employee agency (Kubasek, Brown, Herron, Dhooge, & Barkacs, 2016, p. 416). As an employee, Dave is known as a “hot head” and previously had a fight while employed in the recent past by a different company. This previous fight was bad enough that charges were brought against Dave, a fact Empire Courier Service never ascertained. As the scenario states, Dave is between deliveries in the company vehicle taking a lunch break. While leaving
Today, you have more reason than ever to care about the privacy of your medical information. This information was once stored in locked file cabinets and on dusty shelves in the medical records department.
Medical facilities have to follow certain guidelines. They have to insure patient’s privacy in all areas. The medical facility has to protect the patient medical records and all healthcare information for the patient. If paper files are still in use at the medical facility, it should be stored, where it can be locked at close of business. Also, medical files should not be kept where individuals, other than those that need to use them, have access to them. Electronic medical records are being pushed for all facilities, large or small. The thought is less chance of someone having access that should not. There are firewalls, password use, encryption and other means of protecting electronic health records.
In the modern era, the use of computer technology is very important. Back in the day people only used handwriting on the pieces of paper to save all documents, either in general documents or medical records. Now this medical field is using a computer to kept all medical records or other personnel info. Patient's records may be maintained on databases, so that quick searches can be made. But, even if the computer is very important, the facility must remain always in control all the information they store in a computer. This is because to avoid individuals who do not have a right to the patient's information.
The privacy and security of the health information exchange can be further improved by monitoring access to the electronic records, increasing physician knowledge and awar...

Since January 2007, laptop with personal information was lost, email and fax sent to the wrong person, inappropriate disposal of medical record, not to mention the famous telephone call from someone pretending to be patient’s relative (Long, 2012). The confidential data compliance can be very difficult and pointless without a safety net; Hence, the rational of introducing confidentiality.
In order to integrate health information systems and ensure security of a patients stored information, I think it would be wise to incorporate more than one method in order to provide optimum security. Devices such as CD’s and USB drives can easily get lost, are unable to provide one hundred percent secure security and it slows down the process to provide a patient with care. Online storage clouds integrated with other forms of protection, like the patient card and pin number, can allow us to use online storage and better fight identities being stolen. The future of healthcare is technology centered and healthcare needs to be ready to embrace it. Health information systems have much to offer if they are developed properly. Health information systems have the potential to take the quality of patient care to a whole other level, a level that will increase efficacy an create a vessel for information to transfer. Making sure that information is securely stored and that the individual who is accessing that file from a storage database will not jeopardize a patient’s
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) provides convenient access to the staff of the clinic. It also provides quick access to patients’ information each time staff wants to retrieve the data. Other than that, the system could help in solving record movement problems and at the same time improve the quality of the process. In terms of security, using the EMR is more secured compared to manual system as it can be restricted to certain user for example to medical officer and receptionist. The user needs to login into the system so that it can be easily monitored and identified who uses the system. As for the b...
Inventory management is defined because a science mostly established art of guaranteeing that just enough inventory share is command with a company to fulfill demand (Coleman, 2000; Jay & Barry, 2006). it's mostly regarding specifying the size and keeping of stacked product. Inventory management is usually needed at completely distinct spots within a service or within multiple spots of a supply network to guard the standard and planned course of production up against the random disruption of running low upon materials or product. The scope of inventory administration also concerns the good lines between replenishment period interval, carrying costs of inventory, asset management, investment forecasting, inventory valuation, selection visibility,
