CDM: Connectivity Solutions (Day 4)
Connectivity is ___________________ medical devices to an external system so the
two systems can ________________ _____ ________________ _____________. -
correct answer-connecting / communicate and share data
EMR Connectivity: Know the why
2 reasons - correct answer-reduce manual errors - reduce transcription errors,
accurate patient information, HIPPA protection
improve workflow - Digitally connecting devices means quicker data transfers than
manually printing and rescanning, filing, or even transferring via USB.
EMR connectivity: Know the who - correct answer-end user - OR staff
decision maker - IT
EMR Connectivity: Other Players
Imaging Modalities/Storage - correct answer-nuclear Imaging/radiology
-X-ray/MRI/CT Scan
Break down the ____________ and ____________ barriers with traditional/manual
image storage, retrieval, and display. - correct answer-physical (printing) and time
(how long)
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) - correct answer--free (included on base console)
-connectivity option to export case images to an FTP ---server and accessed at
another location (i.e. clinic)
-FTP is a "common" IT file transfer protocol
-SDC3/HUB needs an internet connection
Dicom Connectivity Package - correct answer--requires DICOM connectivity
package purchase
-enables communication between HUB and PACS
*import patient info from Modality Work List (MWL) for faster case setup. (front end)
* export surgical images PACS for standardized storage. (back end) (BOTH ARE
FOR EFFICIENCY)
*
What is PACS? - correct answer-picture archiving and communication system
Who's typically in charge of MWL (scheduling department) - correct answer-nuclear
medicine and radiology
