Implementing a Radiology Information System (RIS) and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) can yield significant financial and qualitative benefits. This study demonstrates a method for evaluating these impacts, showing a 4-year payback period.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Radiology Information Systems
  • Picture Archiving and Communication Systems

Context:

  • Integrated Radiology Information System (RIS) and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation in a university hospital setting.
  • Need for a standardized methodology to assess the multifaceted impacts of such advanced healthcare IT systems.

Purpose:

  • To present a generic method for evaluating the qualitative and monetary effects of an integrated RIS/PACS installation.
  • To demonstrate the application of this method using a university hospital case study.
  • To incorporate risk analysis into the evaluation process.

Summary:

  • A university hospital's RIS/PACS installation was analyzed, revealing positive qualitative and monetary outcomes.
  • Investment calculations indicated a 4-year payback period under ideal conditions, with an 8-year system lifespan.
