Conclusion
An inbound HL7 interface is needed to be able to apply the necessary patient demographic updates as patient information updates,
patient merges and procedure updates from the HIS or its departmental subsystems.
A Dose Management System helps to detect and to remediate on high dose exposures in the full range of applied procedures over the different generations of image acquisition modalities in a vendor independent way.
Statistical analysis followed by outlier detection supports management in a rather complex environment dealing with a wide variation in equipment,
protocols,
time variations and certainly user changes.
The acquired dose exposures listings per patient are important to be seen in a right timeframe of the patient’s treatment and related diagnostic imaging.
The DMS will be at the long term being able to evaluate the local diagnostic imaging departments towards international defined boundaries.
