Problem with Solution
Radiology Information System also ensure to meet the requirements of a PACS and address this as an urgent priority. PACS is not solely a radiology tool and will be utilized by many clinicians across the PACS arena. Automating storage and retrieval of medical imaging modalities is necessary for present day healthcare providers,
- Digitizing patient’s imaging and radiology data will improve healthcare
- Piles of Radiology records. Old record has been piled up in huge quantities which wastes lot of office space and is difficult to handle
- Loss of Images. Due to storage of digitized images, there is no way a study can be lost by patients’ negligence or other factorsp
- Cost of printing. Radiology images are printed for viewing and reporting. This is a huge overhead on organization budget
Challenges
Central Radiological Reporting Unit brings a clean working environment for radiologists / consultants, where they can work more efficiently. It provides a central repository for central reporting and which everyone can access from his office based on his role. Medical studies become easily accessible. Security & privacy of information is now guaranteed with control on visibility of studies to concerned doctors / medical staff only
- Fast and Accurate Retrieval
- Compression of large volumes of data
- Security & privacy of data
