CARDIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM
• Mainly focuses on the storage and retrieval of cardiologycentric images.
➢Personal notes (history, physical examination)
➢Signals (electrocardiograms)
➢Images (echocardiograms, angiograms, CT, MRI)
➢Reports from investigations and procedures
MEDT 04
BENEFITS OF CARDIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM
1. Ease of access while maintaining data security
2. Flexibility in the workflow
3. Enhanced comparability

FUNCTIONALITIES
OF CARDIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM
1. Editing, Viewing, and Storing Multi-Modal
Cardiology Data (CT, Echocardiography, MRI,
PET and SPECT, Angiography)
2. Remote Access (integrated information system +
internet availability + tablets and smart phones)
MEDT 04
FUNCTIONALITIES
OF CARDIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM
3. Visualization and Reporting Capabilities (virtual
real-time information retrieval
4. Electronic Health Record Systems (EHR)
Integration (comprehensive view of the patient
care spectrum)
MEDT 04
RADIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM
• A network system used in managing imagery and associated
data in the radiology department.
➢Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS)
-for the storage and management of medical images
➢Vendor neutral archivals (VNA)
-to manage image archives and for record-keeping and
billing within a hospital information system

BENEFITS OF RADIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM
1. Easier access to patient information
2. Faster processing of payments (electronic payment)
3. Reports easily generated and sent to the requesting
department
MEDT 04
FUNCTIONALITIES
OF RADIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM
1. Patient management (patient’s entire workflow)
2. Scheduling (schedule for in-patients and outpatients)
3. Patient tracking (admission to discharge)
4. Results reporting (statistical reports,
single/group of patients)
MEDT 04
FUNCTIONALITIES
OF RADIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM
5. Image tracking (entire clinical workflow of the
medical enterprise)
6. Billing (electronic payments and automated
claims)
