Mubarak Hospital (~800 bed hospital) is undergoing it’s third generation PACS. In the third time, radiology department realized that they cannot depend on vendor in setting their PACS/RIS requirements since they suffered a lot win their previous PACS Archive got full.

Thus, they decided to help the vendor by putting their requirement in the form of an RFP. Even though this RFP contained fatal mistakes, but it was certainly better than leaving every thing up to the vendor.

Their RFP writing process included PACS Storage calculation with help of their PACS Administrator Mr. Sadiq bin Hussein and Mrs. Abeer Hajiya.
