Outcomes
• Radiology images and reports as part of single
integrated electronic health record
• Anywhere to anywhere image transmission
• Remote interpretation of images
• Support for Radiologists
• Aid to recruitment & retention
• Integration to reduce transcription errors,
improve workflow and maximise productivity
• Comprehensive performance management data

Project lead for workstream
Support from service
Proposed plan supported by Advisory Forum
Collaboration with Informing Healthcare
– Reports / images as part of Individual Health
Record?
– PACS integration as a Service Improvement
Project?
– Results Reporting project

Proposed Plan
• Rollout the RadIS 2 system with a
suitable commercial data interrogation
tool
• Specification for an all Wales RIS
system to be drawn up in conjunction
with requirements for national PACS
integration
8
Next Steps
• Advisory forum sub-committee to provide a method
where IT requirements and recommendations can be
discussed and delivered.
• Work with Health Solutions Wales to deliver the
interim solution
• Define the specification/requirements for the interim
management information solution
• Perform organisational readiness assessment to
work out implementation plan
• Communicate and gain consensus for the way
forward
