Features and Benefits of iRIS
Radiologist report and image delivery to your GP and Specialists' desktop
iRIS can generate an electronic Radiologist report which can be delivered to your referrer base's desktop and imported into their practice management system's patient clinical record (via iRIS Referrer).
iRIS can be integrated with the Filmless Image Technology (FIT) solution from DDI Health to enable streaming of radiology images (associated with the iRIS generated electronic Radiologist's report) into the referring doctor's desktop Medical Director program (Australia's most widely used clinical desktop system) or Internet Explorer 6.
This can eliminate the requirement and cost associated with hard-copy films.
