Computerized ordering of ultrasound examinations

T. H. Shawker, B. L. Jones and M. D. Dinberg
Diagnostic Radiology Department, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland 20205.

A uniform format for requesting ultrasound examinations was developed in response to the installation of a computerized communication system within the hospital. This format consists of a sequence of eight question-lists (screens), which are presented to the referring physicians on a computer video terminal and from which he selects appropriate information with a light pen. With computerized ordering, it is now possible for the ultrasonographer to be assured of always receiving study indications and relevant patient clinical information while knowing that the referring physician has been advised of study contraindications, scheduling advice, and the proper patient preparation.
