At this week's annual meeting of the Radiology Society of North America (RSNA), BRIT Systems introduced new Web-based tools for Roentgen Files that expand workflow capabilities for radiology groups and departments that do not have an electronic medical record ( EMR ).

BRIT has developed EMR-type tools as part of the company's next-generation, browser-based Roentgen Works family of radiology information technology products, and in anticipation of increased EMR / EHR adoption resulting from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.The new Roentgen RIS EMR tools include computerized physician order entry ( CPOE ), creating and sharing Continuity of Care Records (CCRs), patient portals, enhancements to capturing patient allergy and drug information and patient communication tools. Also, Roentgen RIS now generates reports that are compatible with personal health records, such as Google Health.

"For many years now, BRIT has said that PACS must become a component of an EMR. We now realize that our PACS / RIS solution may be the closest thing an imaging center has to an EMR," says Shelly Fisher, President, BRIT Systems.

The CPOE function in Roentgen RIS opens a Web portal for physicians to request procedures and view images and reports. Plus, radiologists and radiology departments will now have the ability to import, update and export CCRs in accordance with the ASTM Standard directly from Roentgen RIS.
