A Teleradiology Concept For Entire Greenland

The goal of this project was to plan and establish a teleradiology network to include all hospitals on the island of Greenland, consisting of 15 district hospitals and 1 central hospital (Queen Ingrid's Hospital) in the capital city of Nuuk All medical images produced in Greenland should be stored in a central PACS where they can be accessed by all district hospitals. An existing HIS/RIS system should be integrated with the PACS, so that medical users can access, display and process images via a link in the electronic patient record. The paper describes the applied technologies and the final software architecture of that network.
