Radiology workstation design for the medical intensive care unit.

The "one-size-fits-all" approach for radiology workstation design is not good enough anymore. While most of the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) vendors are racing to add more features to the radiology workstation, there is little interest in addressing the specific needs of other hospital departments. Significant delays in the availability of radiology reports are often caused by the fact there is not enough Intensive Care Unit (ICU) volume to justify a full time radiologist. Consequently, the radiologist assigned to cover the ICU exams, most likely working from a different building, will read the ICU exams only at certain times, depending on the limitations for remote image availability. This paper addresses the main objectives in designing a digital radiology workstation for use in the medical ICU (MICU), requiring enhancements to current PACS systems. Our suggestions for PACS improvement follow the ICU digital workflow starting with the transfer of the images from the modality, continuing with the presentation of the radiology examination to different types of users (radiologists or ICU staff), up to the creation and distribution of the reports.[1]
