A new Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) integrated with Electronic Patient Records (EPR) improved radiological examination retrieval. This hospital-wide system enhanced image and report accessibility, demonstrating practical effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Radiology Information Systems
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Traditional Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) often operate in silos.
  • Integration challenges exist between PACS and Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems.
  • Efficient retrieval of radiological images and reports is crucial for clinical workflow.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel hospital-wide PACS integrated with an EPR system.
  • To enhance the accessibility and retrieval speed of radiological examinations.
  • To assess the system's effectiveness in a practical clinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a hospital-wide PACS with direct linkage to the Electronic Patient Record (EPR).
  • Implementation of navigation and segment servers for optimized image prefetching and display.

  • Linking radiological images and associated reports within the EPR.

    • Main Results:

    • The integrated PACS and EPR system facilitated hospital-wide storage of all radiological examinations.
    • Post-implementation, retrieval rates increased significantly, indicating enhanced system utility.
    • The system demonstrated effectiveness in practical clinical workflows, despite some remaining challenges with physical radiograph delivery.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed PACS integrated with EPR is effective for managing and retrieving radiological data.
    • The use of navigation and segment servers improves the speed and efficiency of image access.
    • This integrated approach enhances clinical workflow and demonstrates the value of linked imaging and patient record systems.
