While the harmful effects of ionizing radiation have been common knowledge for some time, it is only in the last decade or so that there has been a heavy focus on patient safety in radiology. Unfortunately, this was largely because of heavily reported cases of patients suffering physical trauma due to being excessively dosed during computed tomography (CT) examinations. National organizations such as the American College of Radiology (ACR), Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA) and the Joint Commission have devised various standards related to radiation safety, but much of the progress of the last 10 years can be attributed to the efforts of individual states, which are in turn inspiring others to take action.

Much has been documented about the role of enterprise imaging as part of the larger effort to integrate a single longitudinal patient record. Despite the many ways an imaging effort reflects an organization’s electronic medical record (EMR) effort, there remain some distinct differences. For one, an enterprise imaging effort requires more careful understanding of peripheral and disparate systems. As an initiative, this primarily will serve as a support technology to the EMR and will be successful based on how it optimizes existing systems. Second, departmental workflow must remain uncompromised as part of an efficacious care delivery ecosystem. The challenges associated with deploying an EMR and the well-documented dissatisfaction on clinical workflow cannot, and should not, characterize enterprise imaging.

Perhaps no issue has taken on more prominence in radiology than radiation safety for both patients and hospital staff. Several regulatory bodies have enacted guidelines in recent years to improve radiation dose monitoring and reporting for computed tomography (CT), including the Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA), which created the XR-29 “Smart Dose CT” standard. Beginning Jan. 1, 2016, the standard levied a reduction in Medicare reimbursement on the technical component of all diagnostic CT exams conducted on a non-compliant scanner. The initial reduction was set at 5 percent, but it jumped to 15 percent as of Jan. 1, 2017, giving providers and vendors even more incentive to closely monitor and manage dose.
