Dear AuntMinnie.com Member,
Radiology information systems are the glue that holds medical imaging together. From the moment a patient’s exam is scheduled to delivery of the final report, RIS technology plays a vital role in keeping an imaging facility running efficiently and profitably.
RIS technology's central role in managing radiology operations is the reason why AuntMinnie has launched the RIS Digital Community, the newest member of our growing family of Digital Communities. Located at ris.auntminnie.com, the RIS Digital Community provides you with a single source of information on this crucial piece of information technology.
One of our feature articles covers the impact of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) on information technology, with radiology IT expert Herman Oosterwijk explaining how to bring your IT systems into compliance with this important legislation.
Other articles cover the current status of the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) initiative, as well as how one facility has handled RIS/PACS integration. Coming up soon, you’ll find our coverage of RIS presentations at the upcoming Symposium for Computer Applications in Radiology June 7-10.
So check out the RIS Digital Community, and learn how to make the most of your radiology information system.
