The MARA Coopetition Study, recently carried out by the Centre for Hospital Management (University of Muenster), demonstrated a couple of facts that characterise the pitfalls typically occurring under RIS/PACS implementation processes:
• 53% of RIS/PACS users have been able to contain costs und to increase productivity, but only 13% are willing to recommend the RIS/PACS solution from a specific vendor without any reservation.
• RIS/PACS users file a number of complaints on vendors, e.g. regarding lack of cooperation, disregard of individual user requirements, poor ability to re-engineer and enhance patient-centred processes.
This presentation provides, in a nutshell, focused information about user requirements, supplier behaviour and user experiences made under RIS/PACS implementation processes.
