Radiology Information Systems (RIS)

Radiology Information Systems (RIS) are databases used by radiologists and medical facilities to track, alter, store and disperse patient information. RIS have been such a huge commodity for the medical field because all of the tools and resources needed to utilize and organize patient information are in central databases.

Radiology Information Systems have numerous functions including:
• Web-accessibility
• Patient Tracking
• Image Tracking
• Interactive Documentation
• Billing
• Picture Archiving and Communication System integration
• Worklist displays
• Seamless appointment creation

RIS save facilities quite a chunk of change. Images can be brought up quickly because they are stored on the database; therefore, time is saved and radiologists do not have to worry about taking multiple screenings to back up the original, or create a separate backup file for the images. The state-of-the-art RIS have those capabilities already built in. This isn't just subject to images. Reports and notes can be opened without having to manually send them to medical personnel. This also saves everyone time and money—including the patient.

Most RIS are transitioning or have already gone the paperless route. It is an obvious money saver and definitely takes less of a toll on the environment. The facility that goes this route has that win-win in its pocket, but can now market itself as environmentally friendly or "green."

RIS don't solve every single problem typically faced by radiologists, but definitely take several steps toward that end. It's all about saving as much time, money and energy as humanly possible. Radiology, just like any other field in medical technology, is a very high paced gig. There is little to know room for error, and the consequences can be dire if indeed errors happen.

You want to have every single humanly possible safeguard in place, in order to assure that nothing escapes scrutiny and everything is copasetic. Computerization of all processes is much safer now than it ever has been in the past. First off, security is never an issue with in-house web services. Intranets are not only safe, they are tremendously efficient and effective conduits for high-speed communication. Secondly, with today's type of file backup there is absolutely no way that your data is going to be lost. It's happened too many times in the past for engineers not to have learned from their mistakes.

The medical field is one business sector where inefficiency will no longer be acceptable because of a lacking technology. In the United States, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has set forth new protocols outlined in the HITECH Act. This recent development will demand that all medical enterprises make "meaningful use" of electronic medical records (EMRs.) Medical businesses are suggested to begin implementation as soon as possible as this will soon be enforced, starting in 2015.

The need for digital systems in these types of facilities extends beyond the concept of customer service. This process will give the opportunity to make processes more efficient, potentially expediting medical services. More importantly, digital information is more accurately retained and simpler to transfer between facilities. In the event of an emergency, instant access to a patient's medical health history could be life-saving.

For businesses that have been using the same paper record filing system for years, this will require an undertaking for IT, both in implementing an effective system as well as entering years, or decades worth of information into a new EMR system. Many organizations are turning to free, open platforms that have been specifically developed for use within medical enterprises for the sake of retaining all medical data relative to patient care. Most of these platforms are available from the open source hosting site, SourceForge.net.

One of the more widely utilized open source medical platforms used in Asia is THIRRA. THIRRA is an acronym derived from the conceptual project Portable System for TeleHealth and Health Informatics for Rural and Remote Areas. The project was started for a need to help assist those in parts of the world where medical care is not readily available. THIRRA is designed to assist users in identifying the outbreak of certain infectious diseases to help control centers prevent total epidemics in regions where healthcare is not well developed through Bio-surveillance functionality. Though THIRRA was initially developed in Southeast Asia, the platform has the capability to be utilized by any medical facility.

The THIRRA platform functions by utilizing a web server for database functions. The program can be installed on various OS platforms, which can be used in an offline mode when internet service is not available. When connected to a network, the database will update with information entered on the end client. THIRRA is written in PHP and makes heavy use of the CodeIgnitor platform as well as PostgreSQL for database functions. The interface for the web console relies on jQuery so that the service may be used in conjunction with most OS platforms and with a varieny of web browsers.

The US government is one of the largest providers of health services in America. In particular, veterans are a major demographic of those who receive government funded medical services. The many VA clinics throughout the country must function in a manner that is highly interoperable and responsive. The government is a hit-or-miss entity for the adoption of new technology. In this instance, however, the model used for medical management among the various VA branches is a paradigm for the medical industry in reference to new regulations which will soon change the manner in which medical information is administered.

Paper records will soon be a part of the past when HITECH Act comes into play as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This act will mandate that all medical facilities make "meaningful use" of digital systems for the retention of patient medical information. These systems, known as electronic medical records (EMRs), are part of category of software that will allow the comprehensive collection of all medical information for every field of medicine. It is suggested that medical care facilities begin implementation of such systems as soon as possible as enforcement will begin in 2015.

The VistA platform is one of the most widely recognized EMR systems, as it the software of choice for the VA. A large percentage of American's are eligible for such benefits, so it is quite familiar amongst doctors and other healthcare professionals as they have likely encountered this system throughout their career.

VistA is has been used by over 60% of physicians throughout the US; training programs for entry level doctors and other medical professionals typically start with government sponsored programs. The intent of VistA is to eventually incorporate several different foundations to increase the collaboration among medical service providers such that providers outside government funded agencies will be able to efficiency make use of the VistA platform.

The VistA program is a comprehensive software platform which encompasses all aspects of health care, ranging from prenatal care through end of life services, incorporating such businesses as Hospice and other 3rd party providers. The platform itself is presented as a simple GUI, built upon a perceived Visual Basic interface which grants a level of familiarity to users who may have experienced other EMR systems. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) incorporates over 160 different application instances, which is supported by over 160 hospitals, more than 130 nursing homes as well as 800 plus clinics in the United States.
