 Beaumont
Hospital – A Medical Image
enabled Electronic Patient Record
Beaumont Hospital
has utilised software and services from Manitex
to provide a web based Medical Image enabled
Electronic Patient Record (EPR). This allows
clinical staff anywhere in the Hospital, via the
Hospital’s Intranet, to review available Medical
Images (e.g. X-ray, Cat Scan, MRI, Nuclear Medicine,
Mammography, Endoscopy) along with the results of
patient tests. In line with the Hospital IT strategy
the solution utilises lightweight software
components based on open industry standards i.e.
Browser based clients, Linux servers. The
architecture of the solution allows it to operate on
standard PCs over a standard Hospital Network.
IT manager Tony Kenny commented,
“The
NetRAAD
solution fitted perfectly with our technology
infrastructure and has enabled us to implement a
state-of-the-art facility at a fraction of the cost
of equivalent offerings. It allows us to make
important clinical information easily available to
doctors and nurses directly to their workplace
assisting them in providing a more efficient and
responsive service to the Hospital’s patients.
As a by product we have
created along term Image Archive and built up
valuable experience in the DICOM standard that will
provide the ideal foundation for a PACS
implementation when the Hospital and Radiology
Department are ready for this.”.
