Abstract

In building an integrated radiological information system (IRIS) and preparing for field trials at a large hospital, it was necessary to consider the working conventions and needs of radiologists and clinicians. It was also necessary to analyse the current practices involved in the requesting, reading, and reporting of x-rays. Because IRIS is designed to be a mechanism for effective consultations, an understanding of the conventions and nature of x-ray related consultations was also needed. In order to gain this understanding, two observational studies were conducted. The first addressed issues of x-ray related behavior in the emergency department, and the second assessed the task requirements of radiologists when reporting x-rays or consulting with other physicians about x-rays. These findings had major implications for the design of IRIS and for conducting the field trials.
