Here is a summary (note: may need to register with site to access) of some RIS (Radiology Information System) innovations that providers should be looking for.

Sneak peek…

1. Digital dashboards
2. Electronic medical record aggregation
3. Clinical decision support
4. Critical results reporting
5. Customer service
6. Technologist feedback
7. Peer review
8. Data mining, surveillance, and outcomes

I am working on an article on how (and why) RIS and PACS will be deconstructed and will not exist (as we know them today) in the future. Stay tuned for that.
