DICOM Modality Worklist
Hospital Information Systems (HIS), Radiology Information Systems (RIS) and EMR/EHR solutions provide a master index of patient demographics and exam scheduling information. Without DICOM Modality Worklist (DMWL), modalities must take patient healthcare information (PHI) and manually enter it into the modality.This process can introduce additional manual labor and the risk of human error. Unifier Dicom Modality Worklist automates the transfer of information from any HIS/RIS/EMR to unlimited modalities and also aggregates obsolete, non-scalable MWL’s across the enterprise, turning any exam-scheduling database into an enterprise-grade Dicom Modality Worklist server. Enabling effective modality management communication between any DICOM healthcare IT applications.
Universal Worklist
Unifier provides the ability to create a central, enterprise-grade worklist that can encompass all modalities and archives, both DICOM and non-DICOM, and internal and external to a health system. This feature includes support for visible light studies captured with cameras, scopes, and mobile devices. It enables imaging IT to create granular accessibility permissions and stores for specific locations, groups, or individual employees.
DICOM Modality Worklist Benefits
