It provides a simple and effective way for radiology groups and magnetic imaging centers to manage work flow and administrative activities, enabling management, clinicians and staff to manage patient schedules, maintain patient records, perform medical billing, enter and retrieve exam data, develop radiology reports and view medical images. MedStar has developed a comprehensive radiology information software and radiology system package, and implemented modules, training, conversions and customized interfaces to PACS system and voice recognition transcription systems.

The MedStar RIS uses an HL7 interface to integrate PACS information into the patient medical records. Technical and radiology workflow information are gathered from the PACS to populate key system fields that result in a complete patient account. Radiology reports are stored in the patient account for quick retrieval and decision-making support. The MedStar RIS HL7 interface can also provide real time communication of data between the PACS system and the MedStar practice management system. MedStar RIS integrates voice recognition engines with digital dictation capabilities, providing a seamless migration path to the clinical documentation process of the future. MedStar integrates with the latest client server voice recognition softwares aimed at professional, network-based applications for the medical market.

The result is a state-of-the-art, integrated end-user application with speech recognition. MedStar RIS provides comprehensive data and tools for analysis and reporting requirements. It is a radilogy information and medical billing software that is unique in its software design, as it supports real distributed networks, where dictation, voice recognition, and correction can be done independently of the location, over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet. The benefits of MedStar RIS are easy to understand and implement in your operation. The results are increased data access for radiologists and management, a reduction in clerical workload, universal access to radiology reports and exam data, a dramatic improvement in the turnaround time for the delivery of exam results and radiology reports, and an overall increase in efficiency and productivity.
