An image routing system provides "one-click all-in-one patient upload and routing," which allows medical professionals to populate immediately their DICOM Systems (DCMSYS) router and picture archiving and communications system (PACS) with all of a patient's examinations from across the healthcare enterprise.

This feature provides considerable benefits to physicians, radiologists, and other users in terms of no longer having to spend their time waiting to retrieve patient data from a range of sources, which equals a vastly improved workflow, more time with patients, and better outcomes across the healthcare enterprise.

The DCMSYS router, developed by Dicom Systems, Inc. (San Francisco, CA, USA), integrates with any radiology information system (RIS), electronic health record (HER), or electronic medical record (EMR) using its unique Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM)/HL [Health Level] 7 workflow module. The administrator simply requests and uploads a patient's details from any integrated system or, depending how the system is set up, data can be routed automatically. The DCMSYS router comes equipped to receive scheduled hospital information system (HIS)/RIS information, HL7 orders, or information from the DICOM modality worklist. All external transactions are secured by TLS (transport layer security) encryption, and can be compressed for a quicker turnaround.

Dicom Systems offer a 100% secure web-based DICOM and HL7 routing and interface engine appliance for hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic imaging centers. Their proprietary technology dramatically simplifies the client's information technology (IT) structure by applying industry standard protocols, such as SNMP (simple network management protocol), SSL/TLS (secure sockets layer/transport layer security), DICOM, and HL7, thereby enabling users very fast and effective access to information regardless of their physical location within the enterprise.

Dicom Systems ensure that physicians, practitioners, and diagnosticians have the most reliable and most immediate access to patient data from across their Healthcare Enterprises. Dicom Systems' unique statistical gateway feature allows every level of user to benefit from historical graphs and statistics in order to manage their teleradiology network, and the recently developed "one-click" facility improves the efficiency of the system yet further.
