New PACS Version allows for Efficiency Increases

VISUS expands JiveX in the direction of a comprehensive picture management

 

VISUS introduces a new version of its Enterprise PACS JiveX. With the system the Bochum IT service provider offers a series of functional and strategical enlargements to its users. By the integration of the ECG and the radiotherapy in the clinic-wide picture management for example other possibilities for efficiency increase and workflow optimization present themselves to the hospitals. The integrated picture and findings distribution with Web 2.0 technologies simplifies and accelerates, in addition, the work routines. The new version is rounded off by enlarged possibilities for the hanging protocols as well as a quicker loading speed.

 

Integration of ECG

The integration of ECGs is another, logical step for the implementation of a clinic-wide digital picture management system. With the JiveX ECG Modality Gateway DICOM capable ECG devices are connected to the PACS and integrated into the paperless working process. The JiveX ECG Workflow Module offers hanging protocols with automatically arranged ECG sheets, various examination functions (measurements, magnifying glass), as well as the possibility of a 1:1 paper print and the representation together with other admissions of the patient. The findings text is captured audit-proof in JiveX and therewith is available automatically within PACS. 

 

Integration of the Radiotherapy 

A clinic-wide picture management assumes among other things the logical support of the picture-giving devices beyond the radiology. The DICOM RT Module guarantees the storage and representation of planning data from the radiotherapy. Users have the possibility to load and process the picture data underlying to the radiotherapy planning, the planned radiotherapy dose data as well as the significant body regions or organ contours. In addition, it is possible to compare the different intensity of the irradiation of a region, e.g., to the target volume. 

 

Quick Picture Access

JiveX Review Web 2.0 allows the easy and quick access to pictures and findings via a web browser. All picture data are prepared for this automatically on the basis of standards and can be worked on interactively. The special JiveX streaming procedure transfers only the indicated picture information which is calculated on the web server. 

 

Coupling with the Telephone System

Via JiveX CallManager the PACS is connected directly with the telephone system. With incoming telephone calls the caller is identified and then the finding doctor receives a selection of the last examinations of the caller which he can access very quickly. Outgoing telephone calls are supported by a preselection in the electronic phone book according to the referring doctor of the study in process. The teamwork of information from the telephone system and the JiveX PACS manages the situational adjusted workflow. This saves time for the radiologist and he can work more stress-free.
