AMSTERDAM, Nov. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG AEX: PHIA) today introduced DoseWise Portal 2.2 [1], a
next generation radiation dose management software platform for
healthcare providers to record, track and analyze radiation
exposure to patients and clinicians. The latest version of DoseWise
Portal includes enhanced connectivity and informatics capabilities
to address key challenges faced by radiology departments, such as
managing dose exposure to ensure patient and staff wellbeing and
improving integrated access to patient information to deliver
data-driven decision support. Radiation dose management and safety
are growing concerns as clinicians and health systems comply with
new Joint Commission standards related to CT imaging protocols and
dose optimization. Additionally, the new Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) payment program, MACRA, includes dose
management-related requirements clinicians must follow for more
accurate and complete reimbursement.
At this year's Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting, Philips
will demonstrate DoseWise Portal 2.2, highlighting its new
capabilities, including integration with Philips IntelliBridge
Enterprise for HL7 functionality and IntelliSpace PACS.
Collectively, these new features enable clinicians to access more
patient information, helping them to more easily interpret patient
radiation dose per exam across modalities and analyze overall
cumulative exposure.
Philips DoseWise Portal 2.2 integrates with key Philips health
IT systems as well as third-party radiology dictation software to
provide radiologists with greater patient information access and
data capture for more informed decision support about dose
management. DoseWise Portal 2.2 is now integrated with:
- IntelliSpace PACS – Users may view the patient's exam
radiation exposure directly from the PACS image, or by retrieving
the patient's total radiation exposure exam history from the
modality worklist.
- IntelliBridge Enterprise – Allows users to
query/retrieve crucial updated patient demographics from the
hospital's EMR, such as body mass index (BMI) weight and age, for
use with the DoseWise Portal.
- Leading radiology dictation software – Enables patient
radiation exposure to be populated into dictation reports, saving
time and helping to reduce transcription errors.
"This next generation of DoseWise Portal provides clinicians
with a full picture of the patient's exposure history within that
institution, for enhanced decision support to ensure proper dose
optimization and justification for exam ordering is accomplished
right the first time," said Dominic
Siewko, clinical marketing leader and former
Radiation Safety Officer at Philips. "Philips is committed to
providing industry-leading technology and informatics solutions for
radiation dose management. The new features in DoseWise Portal
promote a culture of safety in the radiology department while
allowing clinicians to tap into deep analytics and actionable
insights from radiation exposure data."
New Integrations Enable Improved Decision-Support and
Reporting
DoseWise 2.2 is a multi-vendor and multi-modality
solution that collects patient radiation dose data from X-ray
modalities and allows for enhanced customer data analysis. In
addition to expanded integration with Philips IntelliSpace PACS,
IntelliBridge Enterprise and vendor neutral third-party radiology
dictation software, DoseWise Portal 2.2 also includes:
- Expanded connectivity to Philips DoseAware products –
Compatibility with DoseAware and DoseAware Xtend combines patient
and staff dose information into a single display for deep analytics
of radiation exposure. The entire family of DoseAware products are
now compatible with DoseWise Portal.
- Customized user-friendly Analytics Package – Intuitive
user interface and enhanced "Chart Builder" charting and graphing
functionality simplifies reporting needs and includes a
customizable dashboard and popular reporting formats.
