CS-Radiology
Radiology system
CS-Radiology is a complete system for radiology departments, in which the
emphasis has been placed on integrated support of all the activities performed
in the department.
Appointment management and planning facilitate efficient and optimum
management of the radiology department. Various situations can be taken into
account in this planning function. The appointment function in CS-Radiology provides
excellent support for efficient planning on the basis of the factors entered.
Patient data originate from the Hospital Information System (HIS) present. A
direct interface with the relevant HIS is made for this purpose.
How does CS-Radiology work?
On top of efficient planning and dealing with appointments, CS-Radiology provides
good support for patient routing around the department, in which all activities
related to a patient can be recorded with a single strike of a key. The staff
involved can see in a single screen where patients are located. Through
recording data, valuable operational information becomes available for the
management. After the performance of examinations (procedures), the reporting
can take place, for which all the available data from the examination and the
patient can be made available. After authorization of the reports, the
procedures can be approved and sent to the care institution’s invoicing system
through an interface.
Benefits
Data registration can take place both centrally and in the various treatment
rooms. The registration in the treatment rooms is simplified through the use of
barcodes. The various procedures performed can be easily registered in the
treatment room by scanning the corresponding treatment’s barcode. Radiology
reports are characterized by a high degree of structure and frequent use of
standard phrases. By selecting standard text blocks, a report can be constructed
quickly. Every time a new record is created or an existing record is
supplemented with data, this can be indicated in the archive management system
without much trouble. After this notification, labels for files and images are
automatically printed out, so that a new record can be immediately added to the
archive. This makes it possible to integrate the radiology archive seamlessly
with the central medical archive.
Most important features
The importance of the integration of the X-ray system with the currently
present or planned PACS system in the care institution is increasing.
CS-Radiology
has various options for integration with the PACS suppliers who are active in
the market. ChipSoft has already implemented ‘desktop integration’ with various
PACS suppliers, thus allowing the user to work from a single desktop without
needing to switch between one system and the other. A good example of this is
the radiologists’ work list, which can be integrated with the PACS system. This
enables the radiologist to consult the images directly on the PACS monitor from
the “work list”. In addition, web viewers can be made available within the X-ray
system (usually issued by the PACS suppliers), so that the stored patient’s
images are available everywhere. These images can for example be consulted in
the EPR (Electronic Patients Record).
Just as for all the other ChipSoft modules, the data recorded in the system
can be a valuable source of information with CS-Radiology. The statistics module can
be used to bring this added value to the fore. This module can be completely
configured to suit the wishes of the user and deliver important management
information.
