Improved Quality of Healthcare Operations at Mukhtar A. Sheikh Hospital with PACS 

Client’s Introduction

Mukhtar A. Sheikh Hospital is a multidisciplinary tertiary care hospital in Multan Pakistan. By employing state-of-the-art technologies, MASH has been providing exceptional healthcare services with a special focus on infection prevention & control and a paperless environment. To further improve the performance and efficiency of its radiology unit, MASH wanted to replace the traditional method of managing medical images with a high-tech picture archiving and communication system (PACS). This new technology would allow healthcare professionals to digitally share and analyze medical images for better decisionmaking, improved patient outcomes, and streamlined workflows.
