What factors should be considered in designing our reading room?

There are several factors that should be considered in designing the optimal reading room:

• Workspace Requirements:
  Size, type, and number of workstations required are all critical elements in the design of your reading room. The monitor configuration and other necessary equipment that is to be
  hosted will help guide this decision.
  
  
• Film-less or Hybrid:
  Film alternators or view boxes are often required in your PACS reading room for reading outside images. How will these fit into the new design?
  
  
• Acoustics:
  Careful attention must be paid to acoustics depending on the number of radiologists that will be working in the reading room
  at any given time. In addition, the use of a voice recognition system, if applicable, should be considered.
  
  
• Workflow:
  Referring clinicians and other radiology staff may cause distractions affecting productivity. Traffic management is
  a crucial part of the design.
  
  
• Lighting:
  Appropriate ambient and traffic area light must be provided without causing glare. Careful attention to type of light and placement is important.
