The modern radiology department is built around the flow of information. Ordering providers request imaging studies to be performed, technologists complete the work required to perform the imaging studies, and radiologists interpret and report on the imaging findings. As each of these steps is performed, data flow between multiple information systems, most notably the radiology information system (RIS), the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and the voice dictation system. Even though data flow relatively seamlessly, the majority of our systems and processes are inefficient. The purpose of this article is to describe the radiology value stream and describe how radiology informaticists in one department have worked to improve the efficiency of the value stream at each step. Through these examples, we identify and describe several themes that we believe have been crucial to our success.
现代放射科是围绕信息流构建的。开单医生要求进行影像检查，技术人员完成进行影像检查所需的工作，放射科医生解读并报告影像检查结果。在执行这些步骤中的每一步时，数据在多个信息系统之间流动，最显著的是放射科信息系统（RIS）、图像存档与通信系统（PACS）和语音听写系统。尽管数据流动相对无缝，但我们的大多数系统和流程效率低下。本文的目的是描述放射科价值流，并描述一个科室的放射信息专家如何努力提高价值流各步骤的效率。通过这些例子，我们识别并描述了几个我们认为对我们的成功至关重要的主题。
