The popularity of on-site Picture Archiving and Communication System or PACS solutions is decreasing due to some of the best online medical image storage and sharing solutions now widely available. Online diagnostic image storage solutions are offering more benefits that on-site solutions can’t offer, and these added benefits certainly make online medical image storage solutions much more appealing.

For starters, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on servers and other supporting hardware when you decide to use an online medical image storage solution. All you need to do is sign up for an account based on the services you need and integrate your diagnostic tools immediately. You do need to provide proper internet access on-site so that doctors and physicians can access medical images easily, but the cost of installing reliable internet access is very affordable.

Online medical image storage and sharing solution also enables users to access the necessary medical images from remote terminals. There is no need to set up VPN connections because all security measures are installed on the servers. Sharing necessary medical images for collaboration with experts and specialists will also be so much easier to do as well, adding more benefits to the mix.

Climate on the planet is changing and it may result in more skin disease expanded pushing infectious diseases into unfamiliar territory, Dr. Sigfrid A. Muller said at a dermatology seminar sponsored by Skin Disease Education Foundation (SDEF).

Even increasung of 2 degrees Centigrade may be the “tipping point” that triggers irreversible changes (such as methane release from melting permafrost) with unpredictable but severe consequences for the planet and its inhabitants, Dr. Muller said.

Dr. Muller urged dermatologists to join the International Society of Dermatology and attend its climate change conferences. Scientific, political, and public strategies are needed to help reduce human contributions to climate change and to plan adaptations to reduce damage caused by global warming, he said.
