1 August 1990Providing image management and communication functionality as an integral part of an existing hospital information system
The effective delivery of health care has become increasingly dependent on a wide range
of medical data which includes a variety of images. Manual and computer-based medical
records ordinarily do not contain image data, leaving the physician to deal with a fragmented
patient record widely scattered throughout the hospital. The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) is currently installing a prototype hospital information system (HIS) workstation network
to demonstrate the feasibility of providing image management and communications (IMAC)
functionality as an integral part of an existing hospital information system. The core of this
system is a database management system adapted to handle images as a new data type.
A general model for this integration is discussed and specifics of the hospital-wide network
of image display workstations are given.
