Enterprise Medical Imaging: CVIS and RIS/PACS is the Backbone for Regional Physician Adoption — Aunt Minnie Online Symposia
Speaker: Todd J. Holling, Manager, Enterprise Imaging Systems, OSF Healthcare System
At OSF, IT efforts are focused on providing the structural backbone and functionality toolset to easily leverage capabilities and information across the 10 facilities and departments in the organization. OSF's technology presence is increased regionally, streamlining new facility adoption, and improving productivity and workflow. OSF's strategy ensures that new facilities are not only productive from day one, but training, upgrade, support and maintenance costs are streamlined. The result? Better patient care and improved physician adoption.
Creating a Collaborative Imaging Environment — Aunt Minnie Online Symposia
Speaker: Jeffery Yu, CTO, Queen's Health Systems
In Radiology departments and healthcare facilities of all sizes and complexities, the implementation of PACS, although dramatically improving radiology workflow and efficiency, has weakened the once-strong relationship between the radiologist and physician by removing "in-person" or closed-loop communications. This communication gap may lead to misunderstanding or misinterpretation of images and results, threatening patient safety or delaying treatment. Learn how Horizon Medical Imaging CollaborationTM addresses these issues, providing emerging communication technologies such as instant messaging and e-mail, along with voice and voicemail, integrated directly with PACS. This addresses the communication breakdown by providing immediate methods of communication and improving collaboration. The result? Reduced clinical errors and better, safer patient care.
Using PACS to Track ER Discrepancy Reporting
Speakers: Eric Lacy, PACS Administrator, and Steve Kasteline, PACS Administrator, OSF Saint Frances Medical Center, Peoria, Ill.
Learn how PACS can be used to provide better, safer care by bridging the communication gap between the emergency room and radiology, ensuring that radiology findings are communicated back to the emergency physician.
