Role-based healthcare portal

From Yenra

Siemens Healthcare highlighted workflow enhancements and demonstrated role-based portals in November 2008.

syngo Portal Executive is designed to support proactive management of issues relevant to executives and managers. With syngo Portal Transcriptionist, Siemens helps transcriptionists achieve greater efficiency and accuracy when transcribing and correcting reports. Many new enhancements were made to syngo Portal Radiologist, as well as syngo Portal Referring Physician.

Portal-driven workflow is setting the new standard for best-in-class workflow. With syngo portals, Siemens is focusing on providing solutions that are role-based, context-sensitive and knowledge-driven. The goal is to help the clinical staff to work more efficiently by providing a system that seamlessly provides information from HIS, EMR, LAB, RIS, PACS, and computer-aided detection (CAD). For example, syngo Portal Radiologist gives radiologists focused access to important patient information, such as new and previous imaging studies, previous reports, lab values, and allergies, as well as scanned documents all in one application window. The radiologist sees this information without having to access various separate systems at multiple locations. Task-specific tools and information are available with just one click. All this saves time and effort, improves productivity and quality, and helps reduce the risk of errors.

With syngo Suite Essential, Siemens offers a comprehensive and cost- effective IT package for Diagnostic Imaging Centers, consisting of preconfigured software, hardware, and services. The new version V70 of syngo Imaging XS (PACS) combines cutting-edge features for reading, planning exams, and reporting. The newest version also includes 3D visualization applications. Version V35 of syngo Imaging (PACS) will feature stability, scalability, and configurability. It comes with enhanced support functionality for the transition from Magic (the legacy Siemens PACS solution) to the new syngo Imaging PACS, Prior Handling/Multi-Patient Handling, as well as support of syngo MammoReport and syngo Expert-I.

These new solutions offer a combination of separate innovative computer-aided detection (CAD) and advanced imaging solutions with the PACS viewing workstation. These intelligent post-processing applications help improve confidence and are geared toward workflow enhancement.
