Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston has decided not to mesh its cardiac PACS and enterprise/radiology PACS, at least for the time being. The main reason is cost, according to Georgann Bruski, director of invasive cardiology.

Additionally, integration of the cardio and radiology PACS would be problematic because the two systems' patient record identifiers are inconsistent.
