Evaluation of routine telephone transmission of nuclear medicine studies.

Rapid and reliable transmission of nuclear medicine studies using conventional telephone lines and commercially available modems and computer systems has been accomplished through use of software developed within the authors' hospital. Original digital images of all-night and weekend studies, acquired on any of the acquisition computers from different manufacturers, are now routinely sent for remote reading at the physician's home. Data, software, and letters are routinely exchanged using modems and standard telephone lines with a sister institution in Haifa, Israel. The software has been designed to achieve no loss data compression and minimal turnaround time loss. Thus, an average lung perfusion image or gallbladder study requires about 1-3 minutes of transmission time. Full analysis and display software is available on the remote computer.

Integrated radiologic information system: a radiology multimedia communication system.

A multimedia radiologic communication system has been developed that achieves the system design goal of providing a clinical communication service that is an efficient improvement over present methods of communication. The system allows users to access, through a workstation, digitized radiographic images, voice reports, and other patient data. Physicians can consult with each other while simultaneously accessing this information through a shared visual workspace, even though they are in different places. The system was designed by a multidisciplinary team including radiologists, clinicians, engineers, user-interface specialists, and psychologists from hospital, university, and research settings in an effort to maximize system performance and clinical utility.

Drug information services in four capital cities in the United Kingdom. 'A tale of four cities'--London (North East Thames), Cardiff, Belfast, Edinburgh.

Dissemination of information, active and passive, was examined in drug information centres in four capital cities in the United Kingdom. The cost of answering an enquiry varied between pounds 5.36 and pounds 10.80. All centres published bulletins. The largest circulation, 4,500 at quarterly intervals, is published in Northern Ireland for all members of the health care team.

Video and digital fluorescein angiography.

A video recording system, which provides real-time imaging and instant reporting of retinal fluorescein angiograms, with improved patient comfort, is described. Digital image-processing methods can be applied to video angiograms to improve image quality, quantitate retinal blood flow, measure areas, improve storage and access, and send images via phone lines or other electronic communication channels. Video image quality is somewhat inferior to conventional photographic techniques, but is more than adequate for diagnostic interpretation.

The Winchester experience with the TDS hospital information system.

The Royal Hampshire County Hospital is a pilot site for the Resource Management Initiative. It is also the pilot site within the Wessex Region for the Hospital Information System (HIS). We have pursued an ambitious, integrated information system strategy within the hospital. This has been planned and most of it implemented within a short timescale. Although some of the remaining difficulties are technical, the greatest challenges relate to people, their reactions to the introduction of new technology and the need to acquire new skills. The training and development of staff become critical. The importance of an effective management structure with major medical and nursing involvement has been, and will remain, crucial to our continued progress.
