Abstract :
From its first implementation, the integrated clinical and healthcare information system, developed at the CNR Clinical Physiology Institute, undergoes to updated and upgraded procedures and protocols, by solving problems of: harmonization of instrumentation of different brands; management of multimedial data provided by different medical imaging labs; satisfaction of both clinical and research needs as well as legal and economical requirements; user-friendship of the provided tools. Peculiar attention has been paid to the management of the laboratories devoted to biomedical imaging: medical and healthcare operators have coworked with engineers, to get a system able to guarantee coordinated activity, higher efficiency, simplified procedures, major concentration onto the medical decision-making issues, by supporting conventional techniques as well as new hybrid imaging technologies.
