Abstract:
Five years ago our department migrated from a film-based imaging environment to a PACS-based environment. We discovered that our reliance on paper tracking forms for clinical history and dictation information was hindering our practice. Integrating dictation with PACS was one of three key components we needed to free ourselves from the tyranny of paper, the other two being an online worklist and an online patient history. We discuss our evolution to a (mostly) paperless reading room environment, our implementation, general performance, and future development plans, focusing on integrated dictation.
