Cardiology Information System (CIS)
True or False
The information used by cardiologists for the diagnosis and treatment of their patients varies from personal notes (history, physical examination), to signals (electrocardiograms), images (echocardiograms, angiograms, CT, MRI), and reports from investigations and from procedures.
True
True or False
Most CIS are limited in their storage capabilities and they include post-processing functions.
False
DO NOT INCLUDE POST-PROCESSING FUNCTION
Enumerate the three benefits and features of CIS.
- Flexibility in the workflow
- Ease of access while maintaining data security
- Enhanced comparability
Enumerate the four functionalities of CIS.
- Editing, viewing, and storing multi-modal cardiology data
- Remote access
- EHR integration
- Visualization and reporting capabilities
What are the advantages of using RIS?
- Better communication with referring doctors
- Improved efficiency
- Faster payment
What are the 6 functions of an RIS, according to Rouse (2017)?
- Billing
- Image tracking
- Results reporting
- Scheduling
- Patient management
- Patient tracking
It is a networked software system for managing medical imagery and associated data.
Radiology Information System (RIS)
What is the RIS often used for tracking imaging orders and billing information?
- Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS)
- Virtual Neutral Archives (VNA)
These RIS systems provide detailed financial record-keeping and process electronic payment and automated claims, these functions are becoming incorporated into medical organizations’ overall EHR systems.
Billing
A RIS can generate statistical reports for a single patient, group of patients, or particular procedures.
Results reporting
The RIS allows staff to make appointments for both inpatients and outpatients.
Scheduling
A RIS can track patient a patient’s entire workflow within the radiology department.
Patient management
Patient management refers to radiology providers that can add images and reports to EHR where they can be retrieved and viewed by?
Authorized radiology staff
These providers can track a patient’s entire radiology history from admission to discharge and coordinate the history with past, present, and future appointments.
