Summary:The transition of the WVUH PACS to a new configuration that can support filmless radiology has been delayed by several "midcourse" corrections on the part of the primary PACS vendor. If the current product development time lines are reliable, then it will have been an 8 year process that will allow WVUH to be a filmless hospital in time for the next millennium.
