A
solution opened to specific patient records
Many hospitals now start using an electronic patient record
(EPR) solution. These medical records typically contain all
the relevant patient medical information. They generally do
not include the images for which the specific management and
huge amount of data commands another system.
The integration between the PACS of the hospital and the EPR
allows for the delivery of the images through the patient
record system. This kind of integration is proposed between
the Telemis-Medical PACS and most of the well established
references in EPR software.
One concept of patient record aims at gathering all the patient
data but also every other document generated during the stay
of the patient inside the institution (social and administrative
data, agenda, internal mail etc.) and at automatically archiving
it. This concept is the basis of a software called BDOC, developed
by the company CIGES in the Ambroise Paré Hospital
in Mons.
The integration between this kind of records and the PACS
can be quite complex. This has been realised by Telemis
in the Ambroise Paré Hospital in Mons.
This EPR proposes a simplified view of the images, automatically
integrated into the patient record. It must therefore receive
a version of all or part of the images produced.

Besides
the existing integration with other EPR systems as described
in the " Telemis Newsletter 4 ", the Telemis-Medical
PACS can automatically generate a "light"
version of the images for a patient record. According
to the parameters (configurable in function of the kind
of study), a certain number of referring images (JPEG,
etc.) are created for each study, as well as an XML
file used as unique identifier. Those files are made
available to the EPR system that can incorporate them
as needed.
This same process also commands the generation of "light"
versions of the images, later used as preview in an
EPR.
