Unify Fragmented PACS

Fragmentation is costing you more than you think.

Most practices read on multiple PACS, and every switch costs radiologists attention. Sirona consolidates hospitals, health systems, and imaging centers onto one cloud-native, enterprise-secure platform.

How Sirona is Different

Why fragmentation became the norm

Hospitals and health systems have historically required radiology groups to read on the hospital's own PACS, to keep data inside their 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, 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. Smart hanging protocols, relevant priors identified and pre-loaded, and the same navigation for studies from every system.

Explore Viewer

Unified Worklist

Single worklist aggregating studies from every PACS system you work with. Worklists filtered by the criteria you choose, collision-free claiming, and automatic loading of the next study — no more switching between systems.

Cloud-Native Reporting

Pixel-powered reporter that works across all your reading systems. Write reports in one place, bring in relevant priors from any connected PACS, and eliminate duplicate licensing across sites.

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 and HL7 standard interfaces.

AI Across Systems

Platform-native AI works across consolidated studies: Auto-Impressions, Priors Summary, and relevant priors pre-loaded, whichever PACS the study came from.

Enterprise Security

An active SOC 2 Type II program and HIPAA controls, with tenant data isolation built for hospital and health system security reviews — so consolidation doesn't have to 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 spend less time context-switching and more time reading. A unified viewer eliminates the cognitive load of switching between interfaces, and smart hanging protocols and relevant priors work the same way for every PACS you read on. ERA's radiologists reported reading 20–25% more efficiently after unifying on Sirona.

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, under one, per-study subscription.

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. Go-lives typically fall between 1 and 9 months, driven mostly by data migration.

Security & Compliance

Enterprise security that enables consolidation

Cloud-native, multi-tenant architecture with tenant data isolation shows hospitals and health systems that consolidation doesn't have to compromise security. An active SOC 2 Type II program, HIPAA controls, and mature security practices address their compliance requirements while letting you read on a unified platform. Encrypted data transmission, role-based access control, and audit logging of changes to clinical information support their security reviews.

What unification feels like to a radiologist

All you need is internet and power

“The great thing about Sirona is its accessibility. All you need is internet and power — from my side of the standpoint, Sirona provides all the rest. Sirona infrastructure is cloud-based. I need to log in to a web browser, and I can immediately start reading studies. It has an integrated reporter. I can immediately start dictating studies, and I can send back my reports instantaneously. Every component, every possible need that I had in order to provide the best care possible — in order to provide my vision to the people of North Dakota — was easily attainable through Sirona.”

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 site — health systems, imaging centers, your own archive — and read from a single Sirona interface.

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

That is the hospital's decision, and Sirona is built to make it an easy one. Its cloud-native architecture with tenant data isolation, an active SOC 2 Type II program with the attestation available under NDA, and HIPAA controls give hospitals the security posture they ask for: encrypted data transmission, role-based access control, and audit logging of changes to clinical information — without requiring you to read on their legacy system.

How much can we save by consolidating?

It depends on how many reporter and viewer licenses you carry today. Consolidation replaces PowerScribe licenses at every site with one Sirona reporter, replaces separate viewer licenses with one viewer, and removes the PACS servers and storage you maintain yourself. We will work through your current license and infrastructure costs with you.

Does consolidation require new DICOM integrations?

It uses the standard ones. Sirona connects over standard DICOM and HL7 interfaces, and we do the integration engineering for every site 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 home or the office, in Google Chrome, with unified access to every PACS system you work with. No VPN client and no local servers. We recommend a business-class connection of 50 Mbps or better.

How long does consolidation take?

Go-lives typically fall between 1 and 9 months, with most of that range driven by data-migration requirements. Sirona's cloud-native architecture eliminates on-prem infrastructure setup, and we handle migration from your existing systems, DICOM setup, worklist configuration, and radiologist training.
