MetaPACS Series 3 is principally intended for multi-hospital groups that need to provide continuous care to a percentage of their patients who may travel, relocate, or access healthcare services at multiple facilities. These patients' medical records must be available at whichever point of care they may arrive in at any unpredictable time, and available rapidly to promote a fast response, such as in emergency care or stroke center applications. This capability is in addition to providing rapid access to medical records for the remainder of their patients, who may be characterized as those patients who, over long periods of time, only access care at one facility.

The Series 3 MetaPACS solutions provide for scnearios where millions of patient records, populated with images and other information, will be rapidly accessed by tens of thousands of care givers and affiliated personnel over a short period of time. These care givers and affiliates may be located anywhere, and engaged in providing a high quality of care to those patients that are seen in multiple facilities. Additionally, medical record access for the rest of the patient population is provided at the same quality and at the same high speed.

The Series 3 MetaPACS solutions unify the availability of medical records in all of your care facilties by building on a strong foundation of fast and self-healing netowrks, strong and adaptive security, and Meta Fusion's fault-tolerance architectures and practices.
