Aluna Radiology Dashboard
Challenge: To Make EHR Information Available to Radiologists
Often, radiologists need to obtain a data from patient’s medical history, particularly from:
- Clinical notes;
- Laboratory results;
- Past medical history;
- Care team contact details.
Information in the EMR can be buried in various tabs and panels and it is not quickly digestible. Automated data extraction and data summarization save Radiologists time and increase quality of care.
Unique Features
- Automatically retrieve data from the EMR;
- Extract data from both structured medical record and free-text clinical notes;
- Summarize the data on one screen and highlight important values One-click access to the information from the PACS (or even without any clicks!);
- Allow deep dives into specific clinical notes, labs, procedures or results;
- Integrates with Aluna CLIPS to manage incidental findings and follow-ups.
Radiology Dashboard: Benefits
Clinicians time saving
72% of radiologists reported that they frequently needed more clinical information about their patients than they received (Boonn W., Landglotz C. Radiologist Use of and Perceived Need for Patient Data Access. Journal of Digital Imaging 22(4):357-62 DOI:10.1007/s10278-008-9115-2)
Improvement of healthcare quality
38% of CT reports were changed after clinical information was known (A. Leslie et al. The influence of clinical information on the reporting of CT by radiologists. NIH, National Library of Medicine, PMID: 11271897)
“The clinical history and indication provided with a radiological examination are critical components of a quality interpretation by the radiologist” Obara P. et al. Evaluating the Referring Physician’s Clinical History and Indication as a Means for Communicating Chronic Conditions That Are Pertinent at the Point of Radiologic Interpretation.
