When medical records went digital at our hospital, we also went filmless. In the general radiography department, we were forced to change the workflow, so we created a new one. We introduced a system of quality assurance for images between consoles and PACS. As our original improvement, we added to the system a function to automatically narrow down patient images and a function to automatically sort images. We divided quality assurance for images into 1st and 2nd quality assurance and defined and managed it. In addition, we measured the time for each process of the workflow with and without film use. We compared 10 cases of chest and abdomen radiographs with 10 cases of bone radiographs. As a result, by using this system of quality assurance for images, we were able to cut three minutes from each examination, leading to quicker work. |
