ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔document management system - ✔✔electronic method of capturing and managing
documents.
✔✔target sheets - ✔✔pages that contain only a barcode that tells the scanner and,
ultimately, the computer the content of the pages that follow
✔✔file server - ✔✔large PC or other computer that is extremely powerful and has a
large amount of memory and magnetic hard drive
✔✔abstracting and quality control workstation - ✔✔workstation is used for indexing and
quality control
✔✔backscanning - ✔✔process of scanning past health records into the DMS so there is
an existing database of patient information
✔✔symbiology - ✔✔format; for barcodes it is Code 39, also known as Code 3 of 9
, ✔✔Radiology Information System (RIS) - ✔✔used to collect, store, and provide
information on radiological tests such as x-rays, ultrasound, magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET)
✔✔Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) - ✔✔integrated information
system that obtains, stores, retrieves, and displays digital images
✔✔Teleradiology - ✔✔ability to view radiology images from any location by the
radiologist and other users
