PenRad DICOM Worklist

PenRad offers a combination package that allows facilities to execute DICOM Worklist queries to eliminate manual data entry from a HL7 source or from a scheduling system text file. The worklist processes HL7 orders and ADT information, populates an internal SQL database and processes DICOM queries to populate image modality data fields eliminating manual data entry.

The worklist supports DICOM based imaging modalities for worklist and "ad hoc" queries for patients. Our DICOM Worklist generally satisfies the needs for imaging workstations and archival without the need for a full DICOM broker - typically only available with full HIS/RIS and PACS systems.

PenRad’s DICOM Worklist module increases efficiency and provides consistent DICOM information for image archival. The database can also be pre-populated to add historical patient information.

The module offers an increase in efficiency when transitioning to digital imaging and scanning priors for comparison. It works in conjunction with PenRad’s PenFetch to transfer images in real-time and/or as a scheduled event. The software package is a Windows service.
