Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although in principle radiologists can be granted access to additional patient information on other systems (e.g., EMR or EHR), in practice time constraints often limit radiologists to only work on data available within the PACS

Embodiment Construction

[0016] Some radiology departments employ a "first in, first out" workflow, where radiology read tasks are performed in the order in which they arrive. However, this approach can overstress the radiologist if, for example, he is forced to perform several complex and mentally-intensive readings in succession.

[0017] To reduce stress levels, many radiology departments allow radiologists to select the next readout to be performed from a working list of radiology exams. This allows the radiologist to interleave difficult and easier reading tasks in order to reduce stress. Reduced stress on radiologists is expected to lead to more accurate readings and, ultimately, greater efficiency. Radiologists typically read 3200 "RVU points" to over 6000 "RVU points" per year, where "RVU" stands for "Relative Value Unit." Higher numbers generate higher yields, and radiologists are encouraged to generate high numbers of RVU points per shift. Given such freedom, some radiologists tend to fol...

Abstract

A radiology workstation (14) includes a processor (16), user input devices (24, 26, 28), and at least one display device (20, 22) that displays a work list (32) of radiology examination reading tasks.A radiology examination reading task is selected from the work list, and radiology images are retrieved from a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and displayed. Entry of a radiology report is received via the at least one user input device. A challenge level assessment component (60) generates prospective challenge levels (88) for radiology examination reading tasks prior to entryof the radiology reports for the reading tasks, and the radiology workstation displays the work list with indicators (50, 54) of the prospective challenge levels generated by the challenge level assessment component for the radiology examination reading tasks. The indicators may be, for example, color indicators, icon indicators, colored icon indicators, or textual indicators.

Description

technical field [0001] The following generally relates to the field of radiology, the field of radiology reading, the field of medical picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), the field of radiology workstations, the field of radiology workstation user interfaces, and related fields. Background technique [0002] Radiologists are highly specialized medical professionals and are therefore expected to maintain a high workload. In a typical working environment, a radiologist sits at a PACS workstation running radiology workstation software, such as the Philips iSite PACS workstation system (available from Koninklijke Philips N.V., Eindhoven, The Netherlands). A work list is maintained listing the radiology reading tasks to be performed by the radiologist (or team of radiologists) for the work shift. The worklist provides limited information (eg patient name, gender, date of birth). When selecting a task, the workstation provides additional, but still limited, infor...
