Contact: David Wormald

St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton (SJHH) Department of Diagnostic Imaging was an early adopter spearheading the implementation of a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS).   The implementation of PACS at SJHH has resulted in both improved clinical care and patient outcomes.  

PACS has enabled a patient's diagnostic image to be viewed electronically and concurrently to authorized users anytime, and anywhere within the walls of SJHH instantaneously at the click of a button.
