Specialty

EMR and hospital software for radiology & imaging

Order to signed report: a worklist by priority, report templates, and the study billed when it is done.

About radiology & imaging

Radiology turns a request from another department, or a referring doctor outside, into a reported study. The radiologist’s report, not the appointment, is the deliverable, and every study has to be tracked from order to signature and billed when it is done.

What makes this specialty hard to run

The operational problems a system has to answer, before any feature list.

  1. 01

    An order arrives from another department and has to be tracked to a reported result.

  2. 02

    The report, not the appointment, is the deliverable.

  3. 03

    Imaging is billed per study, often per modality.

  4. 04

    A report changed after it was signed must still show what it said first.

How Nirogix supports radiology & imaging

Grouped the way the day runs. Every line says whether it is in the product today or planned.

Available todayPlanned, not available yet

Clinical pathways are reference content your clinical team reviews and edits as its own; nothing is ordered or prescribed until a doctor chooses it. Calculators inform a decision and do not write to the record. A line that needs a particular module names it.

Ordering

With the Radiology module.

  • Studies ordered from the consultation, the ward, the patient chart or the front desk for a walk-in or referred patient
  • A priority (routine, urgent or STAT), a clinical indication and, for a walk-in, the referring doctor
  • Each modality switched on or off, so a hospital without an MRI never offers one

The worklist

  • Open orders first, STAT before urgent before routine, and oldest first within each
  • Filters by status, modality and priority
  • The study recorded as performed, and charged to the patient’s bill then

Reporting

  • Reports written from the study’s template: technique, findings and impression
  • Drafts seen only by those who may sign, then signed by the radiologist and never edited
  • Corrections added as addenda with who and when
  • A printed report on your letterhead with the signing radiologist
  • Reporting macros(planned)

Roles and billing

  • A Radiologist role, and a radiographer role made by copying it without the right to sign
  • One charge per study, onto the visit’s bill, the admission’s bill or a bill of its own

Images and compliance

  • PACS, DICOM storage and a viewer(planned)
  • A modality worklist sent to the equipment(planned)
  • Images and reports shared with referring doctors and patients(planned)
  • PC-PNDT Form F and registers for ultrasound(planned)

What changes for the practice

Nothing sits unclaimed

Every order is on one worklist, the most urgent first, until it is reported.

Reports that cannot be quietly changed

A signed report is locked, and a correction is an addendum with its author and time.

Billed when performed

The charge follows the study, so a cancelled order never needs a refund.

Reports back to the requester

The signed report appears on the consultation, the admission and the chart that ordered it.

The modules a practice like this turns on

Modules are entitlements: enable what you need now and add the rest when you are ready. Nothing is re-implemented per specialty.

What gets configured for you

Study catalog by modality, with prices and report templatesModalities switched on for the equipment you haveRadiologist and radiographer roles

Most specialties differ in configuration rather than code: the same modules are enabled and set up differently. Where a specialty has a module of its own (twenty-three today, from Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Dentistry to Cardiology, Oncology and Nephrology), it is switched on per hospital. Where a specialty needs a capability the platform does not have yet, we say so during the demo rather than after you buy.

Questions we are asked

Can we view images in Nirogix?

Not yet. Studies are ordered, performed, reported and billed in the product, but images are not stored or viewed; PACS and a DICOM viewer are planned.

Is PC-PNDT supported?

No. Form F and the registers for ultrasound are not built, so a hospital offering obstetric ultrasound keeps them as it does today.

Who can sign a report?

A user whose role holds the sign permission, such as the Radiologist role. A radiographer role can perform studies without signing.

Can we take walk-in and referred patients?

Yes. A study can be ordered at the desk for a walk-in, with the referring doctor recorded, and billed on its own invoice.
