For Health Systems

The radiology access your patients need.

Sirona connects your health system to a broader network of radiology partners on one cloud-native platform with one set of controls. It overlays on your enterprise PACS, so there's nothing to rip and replace.

How Sirona is Different

A shared platform that expands your radiology supply

Health systems have historically been limited to partnering with large, established radiology groups, because only those groups had the IT infrastructure to integrate with an enterprise PACS. Sirona changes that equation. Private practices of different sizes read on the same cloud-native platform, from small groups to large teleradiology operations, so your health system can reach a broader, more diverse supply of radiology partners through one standards-based integration (DICOM, HL7). Small practices, subspecialty groups, and geographically dispersed radiologists become workable partners. One integration with Sirona is the path to all of them.

How health systems use Sirona

Sirona overlays on your existing enterprise PACS to solve the two biggest challenges in health system radiology today.

Unified Platform for Teleradiology

Give your private practice partners a single, streamlined reading experience on top of your PACS. Every practice, regardless of size, reads on the same platform, with the same tools and the same role-based access controls. Stabilize your radiology supply chain without replacing your PACS.

Replace PowerScribe

Deploy Sirona's cloud-native reporter across your enterprise as a direct replacement for PowerScribe 360, whose support ends in 2027. Pixel-powered AI, Auto-Impressions, and reporting included at no incremental cost. Overlays on your existing PACS with standard DICOM/HL7 interfaces.

A network that grows your access to radiology

Sirona isn't just software. Private practices already read on it, and when your health system connects, you can work with them under the access controls your enterprise requires.

Network Access

Partner with more practices, of any size, anywhere

Historically, health systems could only work with large, established radiology groups that had the IT infrastructure to integrate. Sirona changes that. Because practices of different sizes read on the same cloud-native platform, your health system can partner with a broader and more diverse supply of radiology services: small practices, subspecialty groups, and geographically dispersed radiologists, all through one platform and one integration.

Access Control

One set of roles and permissions across every partner

When private practices read on their own PACS, every partner has its own access model and its own tools. When those same practices read on Sirona, role-based access control with granular permissions across organization, clinic, and facility scopes is managed from a single administrative interface, and every reading group uses the same viewer, reporter, and Platform AI, regardless of size or location.

Teleradiology

Enable reading at scale without fighting your PACS

Enterprise PACS platforms were built for on-site reading, not teleradiology. Sirona was built cloud-native from day one, with progressive image streaming over a global CDN and diagnostic-quality viewing over a business-class internet connection. Your radiology partners can read from home or across the country with consistent performance. No VPN client for readers and no server provisioning.

Enterprise IT

Built for health system requirements

Sirona meets enterprise security and compliance requirements: HIPAA-compliant, with an active SOC 2 Type II program, multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and standards-based DICOM and HL7 interfaces. Sirona handles the integration engineering for every site. With no PACS servers on site, there is no on-prem imaging infrastructure to patch or defend.

Three Kaiser Permanente regions in about a month

“Legacy vendors told us to come back when we had 150,000 studies. On Sirona, we stood up three Kaiser Permanente regions in about a month — Colorado, Oregon, and Georgia — without adding a single server or IT hire. The infrastructure stopped being the thing that decided what we could say yes to.”

FAQs

Do we need to replace our existing PACS?

No. Sirona overlays on top of your existing PACS using standard DICOM and HL7 interfaces. Your infrastructure stays in place. Sirona adds a unified reporting, AI, and reading layer that your radiology partners use on top of what you already have.

How does Sirona help with the radiologist shortage?

Private practices of different sizes already read on Sirona's cloud-native platform. When your health system connects, you can work with that broader group of practices, across locations and subspecialties, through one integration. That opens up radiology supply that was previously out of reach because smaller or dispersed practices lacked the IT infrastructure to partner with you.

What visibility do we get into our radiology partners' work?

Because your practice partners read on Sirona's platform, not their own separate systems, they work under one set of roles and permissions and on the same tools, and every workflow state change is recorded in one versioned event stream. The Dashboard turns that stream into operational analytics.

How long does deployment take for a health system?

A typical overlay go-live takes 1 to 4 months. There is no on-prem infrastructure to build, and the overlay model means your existing PACS keeps running throughout.

Is Sirona a replacement for PowerScribe?

Yes, and more. Sirona's cloud-native reporter directly replaces PowerScribe 360, whose support ends in 2027. Sirona's reporter ingests DICOM pixel data directly, not just HL7 text, so AI can work from the images while the radiologist reads, with the radiologist reviewing and accepting everything that enters the report. And because reporting is part of the unified Sirona platform, you get a path to full workflow modernization, not another standalone tool.

How does pricing work for health systems?

Sirona is priced as a per-study subscription with no upfront infrastructure costs. The reporter is included, with no separate licensing fee. Pricing scales with volume and covers overlay deployments, reporter-only, or the full platform.
