Health IT

Healthcare information (HIT) systems are designed to connect all the elements together for patient data, reports, medical imaging, billing, electronic medical record (EMR), hospital information system (HIS), PACS, cardiology information systems (CVIS)enterprise image systemsartificial intelligence (AI) applications, analytics, patient monitors, remote monitoring systems, inventory management, the hospital internet of things (IOT), cloud or onsite archive/storage, and cybersecurity.

Addressing 'model drift' to recover AI performance before it leads to report errors

“Although regularly assessing and updating these models is necessary to ensure accurate performance, there is no standard approach to addressing model drift.” 

Example of an artificial intelligence (AI) app store on the Sectra website, where Sectra PACS users can select the AI algorithms they want that are already integrated into the Sectra System. Other vendors have followed a similar approach to AI developed by many smaller vendors they partner with.

VIDEO: Development of AI app stores to enable easier access

Keith J. Dreyer, DO, PhD, FACR, American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute Chief Science Officer, explains how radiology vendors have developed AI app stores to make it easier to access new FDA cleared AI algorithms.

How 'bunker shifts' increase radiologist productivity and decrease long-list anxiety

After day shifts began bleeding into night shifts at frustratingly frequent rates, one radiology practice in Kentucky devised a plan to get its lengthy worklists back on track—enter the “bunker shift.”

EHR tracking system significantly improves diagnostic timelines for liver cancer patients

Implementing an EHR cancer tracking system to review radiology reports for abnormal findings resulted in patients at one Veterans Affairs Hospital receiving their cancer diagnosis and treatment months earlier than those who were imaged before the system was put into place.

EHR-based solutions to the iodinated contrast shortage reduce usage by 12%

This week in AJR, experts from a large, multisite health system detailed their efforts to preserve contrast supplies by implementing electronic health record (EHR) order entry-based interventions.
