3T Consults and CoachingThe toolkit radiology IT teams wish their PACS came with
PACS Admin Toolkit (PATK) brings routing, worklists, priors, report delivery, migration, retention and analytics into one product you install on your own Windows server. License only the modules you need and add more later, all run from one browser console with one login and one audit trail.
Decades of medical technology experience
3T Consults and Coaching brings decades of hands-on medical technology work, from rural and critical-access hospitals to the largest healthcare organizations in the world. We have run the systems, carried the pager and lived through the go-lives. That is why PATK is built for the people who keep imaging running, and why our services start with how your department actually works.
Medical imaging
PACS, VNA, modalities and viewers across radiology, cardiology, mammography and ultrasound: configuration, troubleshooting, performance and day-to-day administration.
Radiology workflow orchestration
Orders, modality worklists, priors, routing, reading worklists and report delivery designed as one flow, so studies and results arrive where and when they are needed.
Standard and custom integrations
DICOM and HL7 v2 interfaces between PACS, RIS, EHR, reporting, AI and portals: standard where possible, custom mapping, rules and translation where the systems disagree.
Workflow augmentation
Add what your existing systems are missing instead of replacing them: fill the gaps around the PACS, RIS and EHR you already own, with no rip-and-replace project.
PACS migration and consolidation
Archive migrations, vendor changes and post-merger consolidation with tag and ID correction on the way, and a study-by-study proof that everything arrived.
Data quality and governance
Patient ID and issuer clean-up, retention policies, access scoping for multi-facility networks, audit trails and the statistics leaders need to plan.
Go-live and project support
Interface testing, simulators, parity checks and cut-over runbooks so a new system or interface goes live without surprises.
Coaching your team
Guides, guided tours, video training and hands-on coaching so your own PACS administrators and IT staff can configure, support and extend the work after we leave.
Every size of organization: single rural hospitals, imaging centers, multi-site radiology groups, health systems and large networks, on any vendor's PACS, RIS and EHR.
The 3T promise
Nobody moves data they cannot trust, nobody improves a workflow they cannot see, and the payoff only comes when the work itself changes.
Trust
Role-based access, MFA and AD / LDAP sign-in, a full audit trail, dry runs and rollback. Clinical listeners keep running through licence problems: licensing never blocks patient data.
Truth
Live dashboards, simulators and parity checks show what really happened and why, down to the message or the DICOM tag.
Transform
Rules replace manual steps: worklists, prefetch, tag fixes, conversions, report delivery and retention. Your team gets time back every day.
Modules
Vendor-neutral between any DICOM and HL7 v2 systems. Each module has a brochure with real scenarios and a value model that shows every assumption. Download every brochure (PDF).

How licensing works
- Pick modules. Start with the jobs you need today. Core is always included.
- Install on your server. PATK runs on your own Windows server, inside your network, with your data.
- Activate. Online through the license server, or offline with files for closed networks.
- Grow. Add modules, users or sites later on the same install, through the customer portal.
