Holding File

All investigation test results and other content sent electronically to the Practice appear in the inward holding file. This file can be filtered to show only tests for specific clinicians. From here, the doctor can review the result and act on it accordingly.

• Electronic file transfer for results saves an enormous amount of staff time in retrieving and filing paper records.
• Results can be imported using a number of lab-specific and standard data transfer protocols, including HL7.
• Radiology practices have the ability to 'stream' DICOM images directly into patient records. Practices using these facilities have no need of radiology film anymore. Images are always available from the patient record for clinical review.
• Latest technology streaming of high-resolution images to Clinical users from the radiology clinic occurs in real-time. This technology also allows reviewing the whole image, or just a fraction of it, matching the native resolution of the original picture. The report is downloaded and stored locally, however the burden of storage of the high-resolution images remains in the radiology practice.
