    Area of Science:

    • Radiology and Hospital Information Management

    Background:

    • Current radiology film jacket filing systems can be inefficient.
    • Timely access to patient imaging and reports is crucial for clinical decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a streamlined system for managing inpatient radiology film jackets and reports.
    • To evaluate the system's impact on information accessibility and workflow efficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementing a centralized filing system in a consultation room, organized by hospital room and bed number.
    • Assigning a single file clerk to manage inpatient radiology activities, including report preparation, filing, and delivery.

    Main Results:

    • Clinicians reported easy and immediate access to radiographs, radiologist consultations, and reports.
    • The system facilitated meaningful transfer of clinical information.
    • The system required minimal space and no additional investment in technology or personnel.

    Conclusions:

    • The described radiology filing system is effective and efficient.
    • The system enhances clinical workflow and information accessibility.
    • Enthusiastic acceptance by clinicians, staff, and radiologists indicates successful implementation.
