Benefits of Integrated RIS/PACS/Reporting Due to Automatic Population of Templated Reports

With integration of the Radiological Information Systems (RIS), Picture Archiving and Communication systems (PACS), and reporting systems, patient identifiers and examination information can automatically map into examination reports. There are many potential benefits of report automation to radiologists including improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and fatigue. In this article we describe a 2 part study, with the first part being an anonymous survey of radiologists concerning report automation.
