Abstract:
A system and method for analyzing the utilization of diagnostic imaging modality devices by receiving and combining patient information from a radiology information system and image series information of patients from diagnostic imaging modality devices. The system may produce facility reports analyzing temporal utilization of the diagnostic imaging modality devices. It may also query a picture archiving and communication system to identify changes made to the image series information and update the facility database to reflect changes that are identified. The radiology information system may use a standard protocol, such as HL7, that is different from and not interoperable with a standard protocol, such as DICOM, used by the diagnostic imaging modality devices and picture archiving and communication system. The system may produce facility-independent reports for multiple imaging facilities that may be combined into regional reports by a regional information system.
