How does MEDITECH work with a PACs system? Step By Step
Steps 1 & 2 1. MEDITECH automatically transmits patient demographic data, exam information, and results from departmental applications to PACS 2. MEDITECH’s HCIS working with industry standard PACS, allows clinicians to view radiology images and a patients record, simultaneously
Steps 3 & 4 • Clinicians simply click on the icon to view patients’ images and read any reports associated with those exams. • Clinicians are pointed directly to the desired patients exams and reports residing on the PACs. No need to re-identify patients or exams. • Image statuses are passed from PACs into MEDITECH’s Enterprise Medical Record, so clinicians viewing patients’ records immediately know both the availability of images and the status of any exams.
How Meditech Communicates w/ PACS PACS Integration Requirements PACS Data Flow to Meditech • Patient data • Order Information • MPPS Validation • Patient Data • Scheduling Data • Orders • Reports • Study Data Meditech • Patient Data • Scheduling Data • Orders • Reports RIS-PACS Interface PACS To achieve the workflow and automatic data validation benefits of PACS, organizations must have tight integration between their HIS/RIS, modalities and PACS. • Data Validation • Image Routing • Pre-fetching • On-Demand Query
Interfaces Required Between PACS & MEDITECH • TCP / IP (HL7 Network) • MEDITECH Admission / Discharge/Transfer Information to PACS vendor (Uni-directional) • MEDITECH Imaging & Therapeutic Services Orders and Status Updates to PACS system (Bi-directional) • MEDITECH Imaging & Therapeutic Services Reports to PACS system (Uni-directional) • PACS system status updates to MEDITECH Imaging & Therapeutic Services Application (Uni-directional)
