Automated notifications for radiology results can reduce physician review times in the Emergency Department (ED). This system integrates multiple information systems, improving workflow efficiency and physician satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology Informatics
  • Health Information Systems
  • Clinical Workflow Optimization

Background:

  • Physicians in the Medical Intensive Care Unit previously waited longer than necessary to review radiology results.
  • This delay impacted patient care by extending the time to diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if notifying Emergency Department (ED) physicians of available radiology results could shorten the interval between order and review.
  • To assess the feasibility and practicality of an automated notification system.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of multiple information systems: Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), Radiology Information System (RIS), and speech recognition.
  • Development of software for automated notification of radiology results availability.

  • Comparison of notification system with previous methods (physician travel to check reports).

    • Main Results:

    • The automated notification system was shown to be possible and practical.
    • Hypothesized time reductions in result review were observed.
    • Emergency Department physicians expressed a preference for the notification system over traditional methods.
    • Early physician response was positive, with requests for hospital-wide expansion.

    Conclusions:

    • Simple integration of information systems can yield useful features for clinical workflow.
    • Automated notification systems for radiology results are feasible and practical.
    • Physician preference and positive early response suggest potential for widespread adoption and improved efficiency.
