Dicom Systems Unveils New 'Prior' Auto-Query Option to Increase Efficiency and Eliminate the Search for 'Relevant Studies'

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- San Francisco-based Dicom Systems has unveiled the latest fully automated feature of its DCMSYS router, further improving the effectiveness of its groundbreaking DICOM Systems Router product line - DCMSYS.

Dicom Systems' "Prior auto-query option" enables medical professionals to immediately populate their PACS with all relevant prior studies relating to a particular patient. This has considerable benefits for physicians, radiologists and other users who will no longer waste their time searching for relevant studies - the "Prior auto-query" feature ensures that they are already there.  

Less time searching, more time reading and a vastly improved workflow throughout.

DCMSYS integrates with any RIS, EHR or EMR by using its unique DICOM/HL7 workflow feature. Your administrator is able to set up "pre-fetching" parameters from any integrated system, and the trigger to provide Priors can be based on scheduled orders, any other HL7 message, receipt of DICOM studies, or any available event from the event broker list. The system is equipped to receive scheduled HIS/RIS information, HL7 orders or information from the DICOM Modality Worklist.

On a practical level, the Prior auto-query feature places relevant research and information at the doctor or radiologist's fingertips, rather than in a journal somewhere, and further exploits the considerable benefits of interoperability between DICOM devices. Recent integration with ThinAir Data Corp.'s TeleRIS™ proves that this functionality is key to using your group's resources efficiently and growing profits in these challenging times. View integrated system at RSNA booth 7016 - Dicom Systems and 6246 - ThinAir Data.

When combined with other modules of the DCMSYS router, this development cements the DICOM Systems Radiology Interface Engine's reputation as the ultimate in integration and ease of use and as the most effective client interface on the market.
