Introducing Intelerad Cloud: The Value of Cloud Hosting

Intelerad Cloud is a secure, scalable, and flexible cloud-based PACS solution that helps healthcare organizations consolidate imaging systems, reduce IT burden, and enable remote access while maintaining speed, reliability, and compliance.

What is Intelerad Cloud and how does it work?

Intelerad Cloud is a cloud-based image management suite designed to replace or augment on-premise PACS. It offers infinitely scalable storage, disaster recovery, and secure image exchange while maintaining the performance of traditional systems. Organizations can transition at their own pace, leveraging features like Cloud DR, Cloud LTA, private cloud hosting, patient portal access, and enterprise VNA—all managed under a robust security framework.

What are the key features of Intelerad Cloud?

• Cloud Disaster Recovery (Cloud DR): Ensures data redundancy and business continuity.
• Cloud Long-Term Archive (Cloud LTA): Provides scalable storage for patient data.
• Image Exchange: Enables automated sharing between providers.
• Private Cloud: Built on IntelePACS technology for improved data management.
• Patient Portal Access: Empowers patients with secure image access.
• Enterprise VNA: Streamlines workflows across business applications.

Why should healthcare organizations migrate to the cloud?

• Cost Savings: Eliminates expenses tied to hardware maintenance, backups, and manual updates. IT teams can focus on strategic initiatives while automated study deletions and flexible pricing models reduce storage costs.
• Remote Accessibility: Cloud PACS removes data silos, enabling secure access to patient images from any location, improving care quality and collaboration.
• Speed: Radiologists can access images instantly from any device, reducing turnaround times and enhancing patient care.
• Security: In a recent data breach, millions of Americans’ medical imaging records and data were leaked on the internet, caused by servers that were unprotected by passwords or basic security precautions. By contrast, Intelerad Cloud adheres to strict protocols, including encryption, password protection, automatic session logout, and role-based access controls to prevent breaches.
• Scalability: Easily adapts to growing user bases and storage needs without costly infrastructure upgrades.
• Flexibility: Supports hybrid deployments, allowing organizations to integrate cloud services gradually without abandoning existing PACS investments.

How does Intelerad Cloud ensure data security?

Intelerad Cloud uses advanced security measures such as encrypted sessions, strong password enforcement, antivirus protection, cyber threat detection, and role-based access controls. These safeguards protect patient data during migration and ongoing operations, reducing risks associated with unprotected servers and breaches.

Can organizations transition to the cloud without disrupting workflows?

Yes. Intelerad’s hybrid model allows healthcare providers to maintain on-premise PACS while integrating cloud services like disaster recovery and long-term archiving. This approach maximizes ROI and enables a smooth, phased migration without compromising immediate benefits.
