QR Code Management System for Radiologists Blog

Background
Because of security reasons, a hospital network is usually isolated from global internet. During routine works of reading, radiologists sometimes want to attach the referential information such as useful case reports or clinical papers with their own diagnostic reports. It is easy for radiologists to search such information using their own smart devices. However, radiologists hardly attach searching results to their reports rapidly. A QR code is a type of barcode that can hold more information than the familiar kind scanned at checkouts around the world. The “QR” stands for “quick response,” a reference to the speed at which the large amounts of information they contain can be decoded by scanners.

Objective
The objective of this study is to develop a unique management system using the QR code to bridge smart devices and intranet HIS/RIS terminals with secure network and evaluate the feasibility of this system.
