Enterprise Imaging

Enterprise imaging brings together all imaging exams, patient data and reports from across a healthcare system into one location to aid efficiency and economy of scale for data storage. This enables immediate access to images and reports any clinical user of the electronic medical record (EMR) across a healthcare system, regardless of location. Enterprise imaging (EI) systems replace the former system of using a variety of disparate, siloed picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), radiology information systems (RIS), and a variety of separate, dedicated workstations and logins to view or post-process different imaging modalities. Often these siloed systems cannot interoperate and cannot easily be connected. Web-based EI systems are becoming the standard across most healthcare systems to incorporate not only radiology, but also cardiology (CVIS), pathology and dozens of other departments to centralize all patient data into one cloud-based data storage and data management system.

40% of images, radiology reports requiring follow-up are never reviewed

Though the combination of PACS and electronic medical records (EMRs) have given ordering providers a chance to look at images and radiology reports themselves, many are still not reviewed, according to a new case study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Canadian hospital 1st to install imaging app in AI digital command center

“This system has made everything much more transparent in that we can see everyone in every area of the hospital and it makes every area much more transparent because we can see what’s happening,” interventional radiologist Ellen Francesconi, MD, told HealthImaging.

Researchers test the impact of CDS on ordering CTA pulmonary embolism studies in the ED

New clinical decision support system (CDS) mandates are on the horizon with an aim to reign in unnecessary imaging. But how feasible and clinically effective are these systems?

Physicians largely ignore CDS implemented to reduce unnecessary imaging

The authors of a new study in Academic Radiology developed a clinical decision support (CDS) algorithm to help physicians reduce overutilized imaging examinations in the emergency department (ED). The physicians, however, consistently disregarded its recommendations.
