Computerized ordering of ultrasound examinations.

A uniform format for requesting ultrasound examinations was developed in response to the installation of a computerized communication system within the hospital. This format consists of a sequence of eight question-lists (screens), which are presented to the referring physicians on a computer video terminal and from which he selects appropriate information with a light pen. With computerized ordering, it is now possible for the ultrasonographer to be assured of always receiving study indications and relevant patient clinical information while knowing that the referring physician has been advised of study contraindications, scheduling advice, and the proper patient preparation.

EDI: the best in business partner cooperation. Part Two: HL7 is the Rosetta Stone of the healthcare systems industry.

This is the second of a three-part series on electronic data interchange (EDI) applications. Part One appeared in the October 1989 issue of USH. Part Two covers EDI applications within a hospital, from one computer system to another. It illustrates how the new HL7 standards will make "seamless" interfaces an economic reality for the first time. Part Three will focus on the paperwork reduction aspects of EDI, and the resultant cost savings. Through the use of permanent CD-ROM storage, the day will come when a hospital's business transactions (purchase orders, invoices, checks) as well as medical records, will never be put on paper.
