True Vendor-Neutral Archiving for Healthcare Data Consolidation and Interoperability
Built upon the battle-tested architecture of bbRad and ShareMyXray, exoPACS is a robust, enterprise-grade Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA). Engineered to decouple your clinical data from restrictive PACS silos, exoPACS empowers NHS Trusts and large healthcare organizations to regain control of their data infrastructure, reduce total cost of ownership, and seamlessly integrate diverse clinical workflows.
Strategic Business Outcomes
exoPACS delivers immediate return on investment by optimizing storage, consolidating contracts, and automating resource-heavy administrative tasks.
- Slash PACS Storage Costs: Break free from expensive, proprietary PACS-vendor storage models. exoPACS allows you to leverage your existing or preferred SAN/NAS infrastructure. You no longer have to wait for vendors to "pass on" hardware price reductions—with exoPACS, you capitalize on commodity storage savings immediately.
- Consolidate Enterprise Imaging: Drastically reduce non-radiology IT costs by consolidating siloed departmental archives (cardiology, pathology, and other 'ologies) into a single, unified VNA. This reduces overall storage footprints, eliminates redundant support contracts, and enables advanced Information Life Cycle Management (ILM) tools for deeper cost savings.
- Accelerate Clinical Decision-Making: Deliver comprehensive patient context right at the point of care. Non-radiological data—such as referral letters, clinical notes, and historical reports—is made universally accessible throughout the Trust. Our lightweight viewer can be seamlessly embedded directly within your overarching EPR/EMR application.
- Automate Administrative Workflows: Save hundreds of manual man-hours for your PACS administration team. exoPACS features intelligent import automation, handling the automatic creation of RIS records and direct PACS ingestion for inbound studies, IEP transfers, outsourced reporting, and third-party imaging services.
De-Risking the PACS Transition
Migrating to a new PACS is one of the highest-risk IT operations a hospital can undertake. exoPACS serves as an intelligent bridge during transitional periods, running in parallel with both your legacy PACS and your new deployment to ensure zero clinical downtime and complete operational readiness.
- Intelligent Pre-Fetching: Clinical activity automatically triggers the pre-fetching of historical studies from the archive into the main active PACS, ensuring near-instant image availability and an uninterrupted, high-performance experience for clinicians.
- Absolute Data Integrity: Updates originating from the RIS are instantly synchronized to both the active PACS and the VNA, ensuring all archives maintain a single source of truth.
- Automated Archiving: New studies generated on the PACS are automatically archived to the VNA. For legacy PACS lacking push capabilities, exoPACS can actively poll for and ingest changes.
- Advanced Metadata Handling: Full, native support for complex operational workflows, including rejects, reflex orders, and continuous metadata updates.
