Abstract:Radiology, Information Systems (RIS) and Picture Archiving Systems (PACS), have the potential for immense rationalization of operations in radiology and hence for the improvement of health care, as well as the return of investments. These systems must, however, be carefully designed such that they support routine work rather than being an additional burden to radiology staff. Analyses show that comprehensive communication of patient demographic and clinical data between RIS, PACS and Hospital Information Systems (HIS) are necessary prerequisites to achieve cost effectiveness. Based on analyses of radiology operations in a large university primary care hospital, functional requirements and data structures for designing HIS/RIS/PACS interfaces are presented. These concern communication of past examinations, associated written reports and images, appointment scheduling, requests of new examinations, digitizing old analog X-ray films, access from RIS/PACS to other clinical data, and transfer of new radiology reports and relevant images. Consistency of all redundant data stored in the three systems is essential. A pragmatic, safe and inexpensive method of electronically integrating “old” modalities not fully ”PACS capable“ in the HIS/RIS/PACS world is presented.

“…Although the applications of PACS have been growing rapidly, the systems rarely go beyond providing diagnostic quality images with textual data to radiologists' workstations. 11,12 Currently, some hospitals are equipped with local PACS systems that may form part of a radiology information system (RIS) but there are few examples of global PACS systems integrated with hospital information systems (HIS). At present, these do not support complex database querying function- ality such as: "find a cervical spine trauma case where the third vertebrae is displaced significantly or automatically rate the spinal curvature in this image as severe or not."…”

Many medical services are often not available to people living in remote areas because of the lack of medical specialists. This problem would be alleviated if a suitable environment was designed to allow physicians to collaborate and exchange ideas with centrally located medical specialists. This article describes an ongoing research project to design and implement a collaborative multimedia environment to allow medical specialists to cooperate in diagnosis. The environment will support remote database access for medical images, the retrieval of relevant medical cases to support diagnosis, and communication among participants through telepointers and image annotation by free-hand drawing.

Development of distributed image database combined with clinical information in hospital information system

We have developed a distributed image database system composed of the data in our medium-scale PACS that provides diagnostic-quality images and the data in our HIS. INFORMIX software was used to construct the distributed relational database. The data in HIS were retrieved using several programs written in COBOL. Image data in PACS were retrieved using ACR-NEMA protocols. The data retrieved from the HIS database involved medication, disease entities, laboratory test results, etc. Therefore, the image data on a given patient can be retrieved by specifying the name of the disease in our database system. Our method offers a practical one to make a global database system to maintain the integrity of the data in the HIS and the PACS. The combination of image data and disease made it quite easy to make a sample database for developing a computer-aided diagnostic system.
