RIS/PACS vendor eRAD said it added more than 200 new features for its RIS software in 2016.
Rolled out over several updates, the new features included eRAD's Radar Nudge instant messaging software application, Connect portal for creating orders and scheduling patients, and folders for organizing special cases for tumor boards or other knowledge-sharing activities, according to the vendor. In addition, the firm said it added patient ID recognition to streamline patient registration.
eRAD's Radar SecurePic feature provides for the secure transfer of a document photo from a patient's smartphone and automatically attaches it to the patient's record. In other enhancements, eRAD said it developed a workflow for evaluating the appropriateness and medical necessity of procedures.
