• Centricity Precision Reporting is an embedded reporting tool that creates more accurate reports by leveraging advanced speech understanding software to record the radiologist's meaning (phraseology), not just the spoken word
• Critical Results workflow enables automated management of critical results between the embedded reporting tool and RIS-IC during dictation, enabling critical results visibility directly in the RIS worklist
• Dose management enables greater visibility to dose measurements per patient exam
• Patient Self-Service module enables patients to take control of the registration process
• Electronic forms facilitate a paperless radiology workflow
• Task-oriented work lists allow management of radiology-related tasks
• Integrated Mammography Administration module captures information about breast imaging exams and facilitates follow-up recommendations.
• Image Aware RIS within a RIS/PACS solution, enables access to patient data, reports and images via a pointer within the RIS, removing the need to log into the PACS separately.
• Modality Worklist functionality enables modalities to query RIS-IC to create a worklist avoiding patient demographic entry errors.
