RAD-Alert enables Radiologists to issue alerts to referring clinicians in real time with just a few mouse clicks, using a web-based application that can normally be launched directly from within the PACS / RIS environment. The system provides • Alert delivery via Email, Short Message Service (SMS), Smart Phone and Tablet Application and a Web Application with all combinations possible. • Full alert tracking with automatic and manual transfers and escalation. • Alert Accept, Decline or Transfer by all notification methods. • Viewing of the actual report using Smart Phones, Tablets and the Web Application. • Optional pop-up to keep Radiologists and Administrators informed about the progress of alerts. • Contact group capability. • All actions and stages fully audited. • HL7 output feed to provide information on the status of alerts to the PACS / RIS or other hospital systems. • HL7 input feed to create new Clinicians. • Transparent pooling of alerts from multiple hospitals to a single Smart Phone or Tablet App. • Auto-acknowledgement option to allow report distribution notification. New modules will be added in the near future to enable alerts for other departments within a hospital environment
