Informatics

The goal of health informatics systems is to enable smooth transfer of data and cybersecurity across the healthcare enterprise. This includes patient information, images, subspecialty reporting systems, lab results, scheduling, revenue management, hospital inventory, and many other health IT systems. These systems include the electronic medical record (EMR) admission discharge and transfer (ADT) system, hospital information system (HIS), radiology picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), cardiovascular information systems (CVIS), archive solutions including cloud storage and vendor neutral archives (VNA), and other medical informatics systems.

Cardiovascular information systems (CVIS) combine imaging and reporting into one system that allows access across the cardiovascular service line. Here are 7 trends in CVIS according to KLAS.

Bibb Allen, MD, FACR, chief medical officer of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute, and former ACR president, explains how hospitals or radiology departments can conduct quality assurance (QA) assessments on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms they adopt to ensure they are accurate. The ACR established the Assess-AI Registry and AI-Lab to help with validating and tracking AI QA for FDA-cleared algorithms.
