“SISP – IMAGE” and “SIIS – IMAGE”
Development of hospital information systems “Public Health Information System S.I.S.P.” and “Integrated Health Information System S.I.I.S.” with the automation of the request – response – reporting processes for imaging examinations and image storage.
In a competitive economic system, the need is increasingly identified, especially regarding the computerization of diagnostic imaging, to find tools that improve efficiency and reduce implementation costs.
Of major interest in this aspect are communication interfaces that enable the connection of imaging information systems with electronic medical record (EMR) and/or electronic health record (EHR) systems in health institutions.

In its hospital administration function of presenting patients (whether outpatient or inpatient), the hospital information system (S.I.I.S. and S.I.S.P.) records and manages patient data for each contact of their hospital treatment (EMR). This information is stored and managed consistently for each case, regardless of the need for imaging or other examinations (EMR/EHR).
The registration of the request for imaging examinations is currently carried out through a module in S.I.I.S. and S.I.S.P., where most of the data are part of the basic index of the system, i.e. they are existing (completed by previous administration processes) and only those data that are specific to the given order are filled/selected. In this way, the order for imaging examinations, in any case, is administered as a structured data entity and linked to the main entity (the patient in the specific case of treatment).
In this aspect, the possibility of automating the process (request – response – reports) is an understandable request in terms of improving the quality of service, shortening the waiting time and reducing the implementation costs, also taking into account the fact that the System of of Radiological Information (R.I.S.) is integrated in S.I.I.S. and S.I.S.P.

Benefits of process automation:
- Reduction of information processing time,
- Increasing the quality of service,
- Reduction of human errors in information processing and transmission,
- Identification of the origin of human errors and decision-making process for their correction,
- Unification of reported medical data,
- Possibility of consulting the patient's data at any time,
- Possibility of saving diagnostic images,
- Correction of technical and financial reports in a two-way manner,
- Facilitation of third party audit processes.
