Development and test of new software for automatic acquisition of radiodiagnostic medical procedure frequency / 中华放射医学与防护杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To develop and test a software which can get and count the medical exposure frequency automatically.Methods:This study was based on the investigation of the frequency of radiodiagnostic medical procedures in China over the past by reference to the experience gained from the Electronic Medical Record Sharing and Reporting System in Beijing. The core elements for collecting the number of medical procedures and radiodiagnostic categories were determined. The collection process was then designed and the collection program software was written in a way for deployment on the front-end computer system of a general hospital for trial.Results:The field table to collect the number of medical procedures and the corresponding data structure were generated, and the data collection and statistics of the above fields were realized based on the survey data of DR and CT diagnostic examination frequency in a hospital in 2021. It took 15 s on average, and the statistical result are consistent with the manual statistical result using RIS source table.Conclusions:The software can realize the automatic acquisition and reporting of the number of radiodiagnostic medical procedures in hospital on a regular basis, which is worth promoting.
