CARDIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM
-are mainly focused on the storage and
retrieval of Cardiology-centric images.
-usually receive an order with patient
demographics from other information management systems,

(echocardiograms, angiograms, CT, MRI) and

CARDIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM (CIS)
Benefits and Features
- Ease of access while maintaining data security
- Flexibility in the workflow
- Enhanced Comparability
different types of data, including computed tomography (CT), cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear imaging (PET and SPECT), and angiography, may be managed on a single platform with the help of the CIS.
Editing, Viewing and Storing Multi-Modal Cardiology Data
the use of networks and integrated information systems, coupled with the availability of the internet and tablets and smart phones, offer flexibility to Cardiology Information Systems.
Remote Access
one of the main benefits of Cardiology
Information Systems is the ease and consistency of reporting. Virtually real-time information
retrieval is possible with just a couple of clicks and queries, and is possible from multiple
locations.
Visualization and Reporting Capabilities
since a CIS may be integrated with existing Electronic Health Record Systems, it can enhance the quality of services offered by health professionals by offering a
more comprehensive view of the patient care spectrum.
EHR Integration
-is a networked software system for managing medical imagery and associated data.
-is especially useful for tracking radiology imaging orders and billing information,
RADIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM
is an element of health informatics that focuses mainly on the administrational needs of hospitals.
Hospital Information Systems (HIS)
It is a healthcare technology for short and long term storage, retrieval, management, distribution and presentation of images.
Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)
In a health information technology context, it is as medical imaging used by the healthcare professionals that stores images in a standard format and interface, making medical imaging data accessible through different picture archiving and communication systems (PACS).
Vendor Neutral Archival (VNA).
An RIS can integrate with the referring doctor’s electronic health record or EHR system, so you
can access patient data easily and quickly. The result is a better experience for referring doctors, which dramatically increases the likelihood they’ll refer more patients to you.
Better communication with referring doctors
A chief benefit of a RIS is that you can use it to verify insurance before a patient visit. The electronic payments you are now capable of receiving means that you get paid faster.
Faster payments
It’s much faster to find, input, and create reports from patient data when the records are
computerized. With the information digitized and no longer needing to be entered into records a
second or third time.
Improved efficiency
Functions of an RIS
- Patients Management
- Scheduling
- Patients Tracking
- Results Reporting
- Image Tracking
- Billing
An RIS can track a patient’s entire workflow within the radiology department; radiology providers can add images and reports to EHRs, where they can be
retrieved and viewed by authorized radiology staff.
Patient Management
The RIS allows staff to make appointments for both inpatients and outpatients.
Scheduling
Using a RIS system, providers can track a patient’s entire radiology history from admission to discharge and coordinate the history with past, present and future appointments.
Patient Tracking
A RIS can generate statistical reports for a single patient, group of patients or particular procedures.
Results reporting
Traditionally, radiology providers use RIS to track individual films and their associated data. But as EHRs have become standard across the healthcare industry and digitized images and PACS have been widely adopted, radiology departments and their RIS-PACS systems have been more drawn into the clinical workflow of the entire medical enterprise.
Image tracking
RIS systems provide detailed financial record-keeping and process electronic payments and
automated claims, though these functions are becoming incorporated into medical organizations’ overall EHR systems.
