- Looking for 2 speakers about cloud pacs?
- David Kwon/Jason Nagels - Lead the Canada InfoWays Program
- PACS Replacement in the cloud - has anyone done this?
- MedStar - Visage on GCP
- UCSF - Visage on AWS

- Large teleradiology have run on cloud for many years
- Many lift and shift ISVs running on cloud - but may have limited use
- Architectures
- Lift and shift vs cloud native
- Most PACS/VNA vendors have had their system running in the cloud since 2018 at least
- No industry definiton of what cloud native means
- Leverage managed services provided by the cloud vendor
- Object Storage
- Databases
- Kubernetes/Containers
- Serverless
- Automated Deployment
- DICOM-Native service
- MicroServices
- Leverage managed services provided by the cloud vendor
- Server side rendering vs client side rendering
- SaaS vs BYOA vs Hybrid
- Lift and shift vs cloud native
- What is the business case for moving PACS to the cloud?
- Data migration - from on prem to cloud
- Migration can take years on prem - is there any advantage to move to the cloud
- Getting data out of the on prem pacs is usually the limiting factor, clouid doesn't help with that
- Hybrid migration *
- Seems to be much greater adoption of PACS to cloud in US than Canada
- Concerns
- Security
- "Shared security
- Speed - will performance suffer?
- Reliability (connection is down)
- Cost
- Security
- Concerns
- Performance - will it be impacted by moving to the cloud
- Will point of care will always require an on premise system?
