April 8, 2009 – Medsphere Systems Corp., provider of open source healthcare IT solutions, released at HIMSS 2009 an enhanced OpenVista Radiology Application, the second in a series of OpenVista 2.0 releases that aim to upgrade the electronic health record (EHR) solution.
OpenVista Radiology 2.0, essentially acting at a RIS, incorporates auto check-in, automatic printing of radiology requisition reports, improved work lists, enhanced picture archiving and autofax capabilities. The application also automatically checks in patients and assigns them case numbers on the day of exams, which frees technicians to perform other duties by eliminating manual check-in. Workflow will also improve with the enhanced OpenVista Radiology Application, which features a single screen tracking board that displays all radiology orders regardless of status. Users can view all patient orders, including those pending but not yet scheduled, enabling more efficient workloads and staffing
requirements.
OpenVista Radiology links to the hospital’s PACS. Users can click on the PACS link in the patient record to view crucial clinical images such as X-rays and other scans.
