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.
Accessing RIS/PACS data
- collector needs to be set up with rights to RIS/PACS, usually done when Setting up a New Data Collector
- open using the "RIS PACS" shortcut on your desktop which is installed automatically during Laptop Setup
- if you don't have this shortcut, follow instructions at Desktop shortcuts for collection laptops
Alternatively RIS PACS can be accessed at https://diviewer.manitoba-ehealth.ca/
Site training and adoption

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.
