91
Q

2 METHODS OF TRANSMITTING DATA BETWEEN INFORMATION SYSTEMS

A

A. Database-to-Database Transfer

local area

A

Database-to-Database Transfer

93
Q

Most often used to share information between the HIS and the RIS

A

Database-to-Database Transfer

94
Q

Provides a single interface and language to access distributed data in networked heterogeneous information
systems

A

Interface Engine

95
Q

To interface HIS, RIS and PACS, some guidelines are required:

A
  1. Each system (HIS, RIS, PACS) remains unchanged in its configuration, data & functions
  2. Each system is extended to both hardware & software, to allow each system to
    communicate with the other systems.
  3. Only data are shared; functions remain local
96
Q

INTERFACING HIS, RIS & PACS

REQUIRES THE FOLLOWING STEPS

A
  1. Identify the subset data that will be shared by other systems.
    Set up access rights & authorizations.
  2. Convert the subset data to HL7 & standard form.
  3. Define the protocol of data transfer (e.g. TCP/IP or DICOM)
97
Q

NECESSITY OF INTERFACING

A
  1. Avoidance of mistyped data entry
  2. Development of compatible data bases
  3. Development of more automated, more
    intelligent PACS
98
Q

BENEFITS OF INTERFACING

A
  1. Prevents repetitive data entry
  2. Sharing of Information
  3. Reduction in workload
99
Q
THE RIS-PACS INTERFACE CAN BE IMPLEMENTED
BY EITHER (PROTOCOL):

103
Q

LIMS

A

Laboratory Information Management System

104
Q

Most important rationale of interfacing with HIS and RIA

A
  1. Only data are shared; functions remain local
105
Q

The PACS is notified of the following events in HL7 format when they occur in the RIS: ADT,
order received, patient arrived, examination cancelled, procedure completed, & report approved.

A

Trigger Mechanism Between Two Databases

106
Q

Application Level of the interface software waits for the occurrence of one of
these events & triggers the corresponding data to be sent

A

Level 1-4

107
Q

Communication Level transfers the HL7 file to the PACS server

A

Level 5-7

108
Q

The PACS server receives this file and archives it in the database for subsequent use

A

Trigger Mechanism Between Two Databases

109
Q

Allows access to information from the HIS, RIS and PACS
databases by using an application-layer software on top of
these heterogeneous database systems

A

Query Protocol

110
Q

From a PACS Workstation, user can retrieve information
uniformly from any of these systems & automatically integrate
them to the PACS database

A

Query Protocol

111
Q

IHE patient information can be used to combine different data: ADT in HIS, RIS
in radiology, and DICOM image management archive in PACS

A

the means to match images acquired for an unidentified patient’s registration &
order history.
Example: Emergency room patient (trauma)

A

Reconciliation Profile
