Interoperability - the big challenge in the radiology world

The overwhelming majority of patients today receive their medical care from more than one caregiver or other health care provider. This diversity, however, presents providers with difficulties – the primary one being in integrating their services with those of a consumer’s  other providers.                                                     

Without integration, this “choice” can lead to a fragmentation of the consumer’s health care experience which, in turn, can result in errors, duplication and, lack of coordination. In a healthcare environment any of these errors could have critical consequences.

To ensure patient safety, it’s vitally important that information is effectively integrated. Statistical information is of the uppermost importance for all parties involved in Teleradiology workflow: radiologists, IT personnel, technicians, the referral doctor and other health care providers. The criticality of statistical reports is clear, and consolidating statistics from all the integrated services is a big challenge in the radiology world. Although integration mechanisms have been tried and developed in the past, technical barriers have often prevented meaningful developments in the exchange of health care information.

Ready for the fresh approach to Teleradiology workflow ?
Dicom Systems, Inc. understand the immeasurable benefits of effective interoperability between providers and that ensuring effective digital imaging workflow is at the core of this: the lack of interoperability between existing information systems is one of the most critical problems challenging the effectiveness of the healthcare industry today. In a world that is interoperable – where health care information can be exchanged, - a consumer’s medical information should be “portable” and available to all clinicians, involved in their care. To achieve compatibility and to improve workflow between imaging centers and other information centers Dicom Systems has developed the ultimate DICOM router appliance: DCMSYS – network DICOM and HL7 device router with advanced statistical module. Dicom Systems unique statistical bridge feature allows every level of user to benefit from historical graphs and statistics in order to manage their Teleradiology network.
Our DCMSYS solutions seamlessly integrate with your existing RIS, HIS, PACS and their related information systems ensuring efficient and cost-effective communication across your networks.
