Part of the book series: Evidence-Based Imaging ((Evidence-Based Imag.))

Abstract

Information systems that support diagnostic imaging in emergency settings have the potential to improve efficiency, quality, and patient safety while moderating costs. The imaging value chain includes forming a diagnostic inquiry, performing a diagnostic procedure, establishing a diagnostic result, and completing communication and follow-up tasks. This cycle serves as a useful framework to assess existing information systems and emerging technologies.
