Hospitals & Health Systems

Reimagine Imaging Economics. Rebalance Cost, Capacity, and Capability.





Most health systems now manage a web of PACS, reporting, and workflow tools that span multiple sites and vendors. Together they create complexity and friction that drives up cost and slows performance.






The Hidden Cost of Complexity

Visible contract prices for PACS, reporting, and servers tell only part of the story. The hidden costs run deeper:

  • Capital refresh cycles: ~$4-6 million every 5-7 years
  • Operating overhead: ~ $1 million annually in maintenance and monitoring
  • Labor inefficiency: IT staff time consumed by system upkeep
  • Clinical friction: slow turnaround times and delay patient care

The Shift from Infrastructure to Intelligence

Sirona unifies PACS, worklist, reporting, and voice in a single, cloud-native operating system. This transformation introduces a new kind of imaging economy.

  • Fixed costs evolve into predictable, usage-based expenses
  • Idle capacity becomes redeployable as radiologist time flexes with workload rather than geography
  • Innovation happens continuously as new capabilities arrive through browser refresh vs disruptive downtime

A More Adaptive Health System

By merging systems solutions across systems, into a unified digital fabric, imaging IT shifts from a cost center to a growth lever.

With Sirona, hospitals and health systems can:

  • Deliver enterprise-wide imaging access without duplicative systems
  • Balance radiologist workloads dynamically
  • Scale capacity without capital expenditure
  • Enable continuous innovation through cloud-native architecture

The New Equilibrium

In a unified cloud environment, systems of record and systems of care converge. Infrastructure dissolves into workflow, and technology becomes invisible to the end user.

The result is a model where:

  • Cost curves flatten as hardware refreshes and capital spikes disappear
  • Capacity becomes global as expertise and workload can be shared across the enterprise
  • Performance scales naturally with demand as throughput improves without additional headcount

Health systems move from managing infrastructure to orchestrating performance.

Ways to Grow with Sirona

Sirona offers multiple ways for hospitals and health systems to modernize at their own pace, whether the goal is improved efficiency, resilience, or enterprise-scale transformation.

Intelligent Reporting

Start where radiologists spend most of their time. Radiologists are made more efficient with a variety of AI-powered workflows that uniquely enable faster and easier report creation.

Business Continuity

Maintain 24/7 imaging operations without interruption. Sirona ensures access and resilience during downtime, migrations, or maintenance.

Unify

Connect PACS, reporting, and workflow tools across your enterprise into a single, cohesive experience.

PACS Replacement

Transition to a fully cloud-native imaging platform. Eliminate infrastructure costs and refresh cycles while gaining instant scalability and global accessibility.

Archiving

Modernize long-term storage with intelligent, vendor-neutral cloud archiving.

Evolve on Your Timeline

Whether you begin with a single department or a full enterprise migration, every Sirona solution connects into one unified operating system, allowing your organization to modernize gradually and scale without limits.
