"Imaging Insight at UVA: A Patient Perspective"

The University of Virginia, Department of Radiology has introduced many exciting IT innovations recently to streamline workflow and enhance PACS integration. All of these changes have been made to improve patient care and facilitate physician
workflow. The UVA virtual tour will highlight the behind the scenes novel solutions we have developed and implemented to meet one of our key clinical missions: Be recognized as offering the highest quality and best value in medical imaging in our region and comparable to any medical imaging service nationally. Starting at reception, where the patient is greeted and registered, they are given a pager, allowing patients and family members to leave the reception area while waiting for their exam; continuing with online protocoling of patient exams in PACS which decreases interruptions in the read areas. Ending with universal clinician access to the patient medical record through our novel referring physician online interface which gives non-UVA physicians access to their (and only their) patient’s labs, radiology reports and images on UVA PACS. The University of Virginia, Department of Radiology is on the leading edge of integrating patient care with imaging information systems. With a dedicated QA team and robust business continuance that has been real world proven and successful, our department of caring and resourceful health care professionals focus is improving patient care through the application of novel but practical information system innovations.

A 1.5 hour session has been scheduled for Saturday, May 17 from 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm in Room 609 with the following panel of institutional representatives:

  • Matthew Bassignani, M.D. (Moderator)
  • Sean Moynihan, Director, Radiology Information Systems
  • Steven Lee, Information Systems Engineering
