| dc.description.abstract | The initial idea of the study is to assess and develop the radiological record system of Bethel Teaching General Hospital. The existing record keeping system of MRI department is manual, which has its own limitations. Based on these limitations, an electronic radiological record system is developed and implemented at the hospital. The record system of MRI department of the hospital is assessed before and after the implementation of the radiological record system. And within the department the service provider, data clerk/radiologist and patients are included in the study to see the effects brought by the radiological record system in service delivery. Report preparation time of MRI, Ultrasound, IVU and Mammography examinations are investigated before and after the system implementation. Furthermore patients’ feelings of the record system are described before and after the system implementation. There is a significant mean time difference ( d =1.887) for MRI report (p- value=0.000), ( d =1.300) for Ultrasound report (p-value=0.000), ( d =0.725) for reports of IVU and Mammography (p-value=0.000) before and after a system implementation. Therefore the result of the study showed that MRI, Ultrasound, IVU and Mammography report preparation mean time is shorter after the system implementation than before. But based on the response of patients the new radiological system didn’t improve their waiting time to get MRI, Ultrasound, IVU and Mammography reports. The radiological record system improved report preparation mean time. And also it is helpful in preparation of summary reports on daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annual and annual basis. Furthermore the system has the capacity to store long time patient data. In that case patient data could be used for education and epidemiological research purposes | en_US |
