RIS/PACS is the medical imaging database used by the WRHA. Some of our data collectors use it to count x-rays for [[Labs]] collecting.

RIS/PACS is the medical imaging database used by the WRHA. Some of our data collectors use it to count x-rays for [[Lab Collection Process|Labs]] collecting.

== ~~Set-up ==~~

== Accessing RIS/PACS data ==

~~To access~~ RIS/PACS ~~the following is required:~~

Double-click the "RIS PACS" shortcut on your desktop

* access needs to be granted to the ~~user's computer account (usually done as part of [[Setting up a New Data Collector]])~~

* the PCS PACS ~~program needs to be installed~~ on ~~the laptops (usually done as part of [[Laptop Setup]])~~

~~== Direct access to data ==~~

If you don't have a shortcut, follow instructions at [[Desktop shortcuts for collection laptops]]

~~As of 2011-07-28 Tina is looking into getting the lab counts directly from the RIS system rather than having collectors count and transcribe. Contacts are Breanne Batters (Manager~~, ~~Access and Quality Improvement, Diagnostic Imaging Program) and Catherine Robbins (Breanne's boss).~~

Alternatively RIS PACS can be accessed at https://diviewer.manitoba-ehealth.ca/

== Site training and adoption ==

All sites have access and should know how to use. If you don't have access please comment here. Ttenbergen 14:55, 2015 May 25 (CDT)

== Direct Data Access ==

see [[Direct Data Access for RIS/PACS]] about an ongoing project to maybe get data from RIS/PACS directly rather than having to collect it manually.

== Legacy Info - IMPAX ==

RIS/PACS data used to have to be viewed via installed software IMPAX. As of 2014-01 it can just be accessed via intranet.

As per email from HSC Messsenger 2014-Jan-16:

Both the PACS software and Digital Imaging Viewer are available to users at present. However, when PACS is upgraded a few months from now, the PACS system will be reserved for the diagnostic imaging and emergency departments. DI Viewer will replace the IMPAX PACS software for other users. This change will affect all current users of IMPAX viewer for reviewing diagnostic images and reports.
