Implementing a bar-code terminal network significantly reduced radiology information system errors by enabling technologists to enter procedure data post-performance. This upgrade enhanced accuracy without a full system software conversion.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology Information Systems
  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Minicomputer-based radiology information systems (RIS) often suffer from inaccuracies due to pre-procedure data entry.
  • Manual data entry at registration can lead to significant database errors in healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To improve the accuracy of procedure information within a radiology information system.
  • To integrate a microcomputer-based solution into an existing minicomputer RIS infrastructure.
  • To reduce database errors associated with radiology procedure reporting.

Main Methods:

  • A bar-code terminal network, controlled by microcomputer software, was added to an existing minicomputer-based RIS.
  • Radiology technologists were trained to enter procedure data using bar-code terminals after procedures were completed.
