IT provider Medavis presented new software modules for appointment notifications and electronic report transmission, as well as its portal4med Referrer Portal, during the recently concluded German Radiological Congress (Röko 2016).
The new RIS module, Appointment Notification, sends appointment reminders to patients automatically via SMS or email. For the patient, the calendar file sent with the reminder can be saved in a private calendar. Via a newly implemented communication center, the status of sent messages is visible in the Medavis RIS.
Every Medavis customer with a KV-SafeNet connection can send reports electronically now. The Medavis RIS eReport module starts the electronic transmission of reports automatically in the RIS. Data security guarantees the transmission of the encrypted data via the secure network of the German network KV. To select the recipient, RIS accesses the directory of KV Connect with its 56,000 addresses. The format allows attachments and later editing by the recipient.
With the portal4med Referrer Portal, Medavis offers a platform for connecting radiologists and referrers that is 100% web-based. Images are automatically uploaded from the RIS to portal4med and are instantly available. The referrer receives an email as soon as new reports and images arrive in the portal. The referrer can find the respective patient record via the search and can view the images directly in the portal in the integrated viewer.
