Eastman Kodak Company announced worldwide availability for its new digital dashboard feature that provides system administrators with a means to monitor equipment performance, storage utilization and user volumes for PACS.

The software supports users of Carestream PACS and Carestream Information Management Solutions. The company also plans to release dashboard software for its Carestream RIS as well. A specific date was not announced.

PACS administrators can use the digital dashboard to verify that devices are operating and communicating on the network. A simple red/yellow/green display gives immediate feedback regarding the status of any monitored device. An integrated, product-specific menu enables the launching of frequently used tools with a single mouse click. The dashboard also makes it easy to track the number of concurrent users for a device, the number of read and unread imaging studies, as well as the status of other tasks.
