named deliverables, every recommendation costed and sequenced
- Most enterprise imaging strategies are handed over, not handed off. We hold a working session every Friday from week ten with your Digital and Technology and clinical informatics teams. By week twenty, the document reads like your team wrote it, because they did.
- We have no archive, viewer, or VNA product to sell you. Every architecture option in your roadmap is sourced on merit, not on margin.
- Eight deliverables, every one independently usable. Your CFO can act on the TCO model the same week your Digital and Technology team starts the technical assessment review.

What we cover, end to end.
Three assessment streams run in parallel from week one. Items below map directly to the scope your procurement team is most likely to specify, so your evaluators can pattern match line by line.
Stream 1
Technical
- Infrastructure, hosting, and cloud readiness
- Storage and archive platforms across sites
- Network and performance dependencies
- Security, identity, access, and audit controls
- Disaster recovery, backup, and ransomware resilience
- Integration and interface inventory (HL7, FHIR, DICOM, XDS I)
- Data flow and lifecycle analysis
- Capacity and growth forecasting
Stream 2
Clinical workflow
- Diagnostic imaging
- Cardiology and CVIS
- Endoscopy and procedural imaging
- Enterprise viewer and zero footprint viewer
- Theatre, mobile, and clinical photography
- Home care, community care, and virtual care
- AI assisted imaging workflows
- Cross site image access and collaboration
Stream 3
Operational and commercial
- Support models, resourcing, and shift coverage
- Vendor management, licensing, and contract review
- Incident, change, and problem management maturity
- Operational risk and technical debt register
- Service ownership and governance
- Commercial and procurement posture
Stakeholder engagement across executive leadership, radiology, cardiology, endoscopy, Digital and Technology, infrastructure, cyber and privacy, clinical informatics, and home and community care teams.
Twenty weeks, five phases, parallel workstreams.
Foundations before migration, migration before AI. Each phase ends with a written checkpoint your steering committee signs off before the next begins.
-
Weeks 1 to 3
Discovery and stakeholder engagement
Kickoff, governance setup, executive interviews, clinical and Digital and Technology workshops, document inventory, environment access. Exit: signed scope confirmation and stakeholder map.
-
Weeks 3 to 8
Technical and architecture deep dive
Site visits, platform inventory, integration mapping, security posture, DR and lifecycle review, cloud and hybrid readiness, capacity forecasting. Exit: technical assessment report draft.
-
Weeks 4 to 10
Clinical workflow and specialty mapping
Radiology, cardiology, endoscopy, theatre, ambulatory, home, and community imaging workflows mapped. Universal viewer and EMR integration assessment. Exit: clinical assessment report draft.
-
Weeks 10 to 16
Strategy and roadmap synthesis
Target operating model, VNA and viewer architecture options, TCO modelling, ROI sensitivity, phased roadmap with sequencing and dependencies. Exit: strategy document and roadmap draft.
-
Weeks 16 to 20
Executive review and handover
Executive briefing pack, board paper, finance review, procurement schedule, knowledge transfer to your Digital and Technology and clinical informatics teams. Exit: all eight deliverables signed off.
Workstreams two and three run in parallel from week three so clinical and technical teams are never waiting on each other. The roadmap synthesis phase is where most assessments fail. We hold a working session every Friday from week ten so the strategy is co authored, not handed over.
Enterprise imaging is broader than radiology. So is the assessment.
Most consulting offers stop at PACS, RIS, and CVIS. Your clinicians do not. The strategy we hand back maps every clinical domain that produces or consumes imaging data, in the same architecture and governance model.
- Clinical photography
- Point of care ultrasound
- Wound management imaging
- Mobile imaging
- Home care imaging
- Community care imaging
- Procedural and theatre imaging
- Ophthalmology
- Dermatology
- Endoscopy
- Oncology imaging
- Digital pathology
- Dental imaging
- Non DICOM image capture
- AI generated imaging artefacts
Why our recommendations stick
No archive, viewer, or VNA product to sell back to you.
Trucell does not resell or implement a proprietary VNA, Universal Viewer, or enterprise archive platform. Every architecture option in your roadmap is sourced on merit and trade off, not on margin. Your evaluators can read the recommendation, the alternative options considered, and the reasoning side by side, and your Digital and Technology leadership can use the same document the day after handover to brief any implementation partner of your choosing.

Questions before you book
Can you respond to our open RFP directly?
Yes. Forward the SOW with your closing date and we will confirm fit and timing inside three business days. The 45 minute briefing is also available to procurement contacts under your standard probity rules.
How big a hospital group does this engagement suit?
The engagement scales from five to forty sites. Below five sites the assessment is usually overscoped and a shorter PACS and RIS focused review is more appropriate. Above forty sites we phase the discovery to keep the steering cadence usable.
Who actually runs the engagement?
A named principal consultant leads delivery, supported by a senior healthcare technology architect, a clinical informatics lead, and a security engineer. CVs are provided with our proposal response. The principal consultant remains on the engagement from kickoff through executive handover.
Are you vendor neutral in practice?
Yes. Trucell does not resell or implement a proprietary VNA, Universal Viewer, or enterprise archive. Where we hold partner relationships with infrastructure or security vendors, those relationships are disclosed in the assessment, and architecture recommendations are sourced on merit and trade off. Your Digital and Technology leadership can take the strategy to any implementation partner of your choosing.
How is the assessment scoped commercially?
Fixed fee, milestone billed against the five phase methodology. Variations to scope (additional sites, additional clinical domains, additional storage modelling scenarios) are handled by a written change request signed by your steering committee. The commercial proposal is provided after the 45 minute briefing once scope is confirmed.
Can you handle clinical photography, digital pathology, ophthalmology, and home care imaging in scope?
Yes. The strategy explicitly addresses enterprise imaging across radiology, cardiology, endoscopy, theatre, dermatology, ophthalmology, dental, digital pathology, clinical photography, point of care ultrasound, home care, community care, and AI generated imaging artefacts. This is the SOW area most consulting offers ignore, and the area your clinicians will judge the strategy on.
What about cybersecurity, ISO 27001, and Essential Eight?
Trucell is ISO 27001:2022 certified and delivers ASD Essential Eight uplift in production for Australian healthcare organisations. The assessment includes a security posture review aligned to Essential Eight maturity, ISO 27001, the ACSC Information Security Manual, and OAIC notifiable data breach obligations.
What references can you provide?
Three references from comparable Australian healthcare organisations are provided with our proposal response under mutual NDA. Public case studies are linked from /industries/healthcare/. We will not name reference clients on a marketing page.
