Unify Fragmented PACS

Fragmentation is costing you more than you think.

Most practices read on multiple PACS. Sirona consolidates every system — hospitals, health systems, imaging centers — onto one cloud-native platform that meets enterprise security requirements.

How Sirona is Different

Why fragmentation became the norm

Hospitals and health systems have historically required radiology groups to read on their PACS to secure data with their legacy systems. That requirement made sense 15 years ago — when cloud PACS didn't exist. Today, it doesn't. Cloud-native PACS architecture eliminates the need for on-prem infrastructure requirements, yet most practices are still bound by old contracts and legacy policies. You're stuck reading on one health system's PACS, then another's, then your own. Context-switching costs radiologists productivity. Redundant licensing costs your practice money. Fragmented security costs you peace of mind.

One platform. Every PACS. Complete consolidation.

Sirona consolidates fragmented reading workflows into a unified system that works with your hospital and health system partners.

Multi-PACS Viewer

Read from any PACS — hospital, health system, or imaging center — from a single diagnostic viewer. Unified hanging protocols, intelligent priors integration, and seamless navigation across studies from every system.

Explore Viewer

Unified Worklist

Single worklist aggregating studies from every PACS system you work with. Context-aware prioritization, custom case assignment, and unified productivity metrics — no more switching between systems.

Cloud-Native Reporting

Pixel-powered reporter that works across all your reading systems. Write reports once, capture high-confidence priors from any PACS, and eliminate duplicate licensing across sites.

Explore Reporter

Archive & Integration

Cloud-native archive that consolidates your own studies while maintaining secure connections to every hospital and health system PACS you work with. DICOM, HL7, FHIR standard interfaces.

AI Across Systems

Platform-native AI plus third-party orchestration works across consolidated studies. Real-time error detection, automated labeling, and AI-driven prior summaries — from any PACS on the network.

Enterprise Security

An active SOC 2 program and HIPAA controls, with data isolation that satisfies hospital and health system requirements — proving consolidation doesn't compromise security.

The cost of fragmentation — and the power of consolidation

Every PACS switch costs radiologists attention. Every redundant license costs your practice money. Every fragmented system costs you peace of mind.

Radiologist Productivity

Real efficiency gains from unified reading

Practices that consolidate multiple PACS systems onto Sirona read faster and with less friction. Radiologists spend less time context-switching and more time reading. A unified viewer eliminates the cognitive load of switching between interfaces. Intelligent hanging protocols and unified priors work the same way across every PACS you read on.

Financial Impact

Eliminate redundant licensing across sites

Fragmented reading means duplicate licenses. You pay for PowerScribe at your main practice and again at every hospital PACS you read on. You maintain separate viewer licenses from separate vendors. Sirona replaces that with one reporter, one viewer, one platform. Consolidating multiple reading environments substantially reduces total reporting and viewing costs.

Eliminate per-study licensing fees across hospitals

Single PACS viewer license covering all systems you read on

No incremental costs for consolidation — one price for everything

Operational Simplicity

One platform, every hospital partnership

You don't have to choose between your practice PACS and hospital partnerships. Multi-site groups read across the health systems they serve — all on Sirona. You maintain independent relationships with health systems and hospitals, but your radiologists read from a single URL. Implementation takes weeks, not months.

Security & Compliance

Enterprise security that enables consolidation

Cloud-native, multi-tenant architecture with data isolation proves to hospitals and health systems that consolidation doesn't compromise security. An active SOC 2 program, HIPAA controls, and mature security practices satisfy their compliance requirements while letting you read on a unified platform. Encrypted data transmission, role-based access control, and audit logging give hospitals visibility into every access.

Our Customers: The Value of Unification

“[Sirona] gives me a lot of flexibility in when I can read and how much I can read, because I can do it in my house whenever I want. I probably am reading another hour or two, really, per day, which is great for both the practice and myself...Our volumes are increasing, and this [has been] an excellent way to help make us more efficient.”

Dr. Casey Cotton

ERA

AI-Powered Efficiency

“The hanging protocols that Sirona has applied for us have been a big improvement... no matter where the scans are from, [they are] hung by Sirona in the exact same way each time. That allows us to be efficient and not have to move the sequences around to be able to interpret the case in an efficient manner.”

FAQs

Do we have to stop reading on hospital PACS systems?

No. Sirona doesn't replace your relationships with hospitals and health systems. Instead, it consolidates the reading experience. You maintain independent partnerships with every PACS — health systems, imaging centers, your own archive — and read from a single Sirona interface. Multi-site groups across the country run this model at scale.

Will hospitals allow us to consolidate onto Sirona instead of reading on their system?

Yes. Sirona's cloud-native architecture with multi-tenant data isolation, an active SOC 2 program, and HIPAA controls gives hospitals the security posture they require. They get encrypted data transmission, role-based access control, and full audit logging — without requiring you to read on their legacy system. Many hospitals prefer this model because it reduces their support burden while maintaining security oversight.

How much can we save by consolidating?

Multi-site consolidations substantially cut reporting and viewing license costs. You eliminate PowerScribe licenses at every site (replacing them with Sirona Reporter at one price), consolidate viewer licenses, and reduce IT infrastructure costs. Additional savings come from operational efficiency — unified administration, single vendor support, and reduced IT staff overhead.

Does consolidation require new DICOM integrations?

No. Sirona uses standard DICOM, HL7, and FHIR interfaces that work with every existing PACS without custom engineering. Setup and integration take weeks, not months. We handle the technical work as part of onboarding — your IT team doesn't need to build anything.

Can radiologists access consolidated studies from anywhere?

Yes. Sirona's cloud-native architecture means radiologists read diagnostic-quality studies from anywhere with internet. Home, office, across the country, or across the globe — unified access to every PACS system you work with. No VPN, no local servers, no geographic limitations.

How long does consolidation take?

Most multi-PACS consolidations go live in under one month. Sirona's cloud-native architecture eliminates on-prem infrastructure setup. We handle migration from your existing systems, DICOM setup, worklist configuration, and radiologist training. Expect to be reading on Sirona within 2–4 weeks.
