Browse through the market data tables, figures and detailed TOC on the “The North American Radiology Information System (RIS) Market” http://www.micromarketmonitor.com/market/north-america-radiology-information-systems8733118569.html Radiology information system is a networked software application/module which is used to store, manipulate, and distribute radio-logical data and related images of patients. RIS comprises a patient tracking and scheduling system, a result reporting, and an image tracking system. Integration of RIS with hospital information systems (HIS) and other databases improves the hospital workflow. RIS is used for patient registration and patient scheduling, patient list management, radiology department workflow management, request and document scanning, result entry, reporting and printouts, result delivery including faxing and e-mailing of clinical reports, patient tracking, creation of technical files, and modality and material management. These systems are used to automate various operations and services of the radiology department. A growing trend of integrating these systems into HIS and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) is driving the market, particularly in standalone applications. Users also prefer such integrated solutions as they improve efficiency of the systems. Introduction of complementing technologies has made RIS an ideal solution to manage radiological images. With the help of technologies like client/server models and improved networking technologies, along with introduction of DICOM and HL7 standards, the integration of RIS with PACS and other modalities has been made easy. This has improved the adoption of RIS among healthcare providers. Another reason for the higher adoption of RIS among practitioners is that it offers a wide range of facilities in a single application. RIS systems are also used to manage a patient’s entire workflow within the radiology department. The system can be used to add and retrieve related patient information from electronic health records (EHRs) and viewed by authorized radiology staff. The major geographic segments covered in the North American RIS market report are the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Some of the key players in this market include Allscripts, Cerner Corporation, McKesson Corporation, GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, Merge Healthcare, Medinfomatix, Inc., Siemens AG Healthcare, and Epic Systems.
