Philips introduces next generation dose management software solution
DoseWise Portal 2.2's new connectivity capabilities and enhanced customisation features further integrate radiology data to mitigate radiation risk for patients and staff
Leading health technology company Royal Philips has introduced DoseWise Portal 2.2, a next generation radiation dose management software platform for healthcare providers to record, track and analyse radiation exposure to patients and clinicians.
The latest version of DoseWise Portal includes enhanced connectivity and informatics capabilities to address key challenges faced by radiology departments, such as managing dose exposure to ensure patient and staff wellbeing and improving integrated access to patient information to deliver data-driven decision support.
Radiation dose management and safety are growing concerns as clinicians and health systems comply with new Joint Commission standards related to CT imaging protocols and dose optimisation.
DoseWise Portal 2.2 offers new capabilities, including integration with Philips IntelliBridge Enterprise for HL7 functionality and IntelliSpace PACS. Collectively, these new features enable clinicians to access more patient information, helping them to more easily interpret patient radiation dose per exam across modalities and analyze overall cumulative exposure.
'This next generation of DoseWise Portal provides clinicians with a full picture of the patient’s exposure history within that institution, for enhanced decision support to ensure proper dose optimisation and justification for exam ordering is accomplished right the first time,' said Dominic Siewko, radiation health and safety officer, Philips. 'The new features in DoseWise Portal promote a culture of safety in the radiology department while allowing clinicians to tap into deep analytics and actionable insights from radiation exposure data.'
DoseWise 2.2 is a multi-vendor and multi-modality solution that collects patient radiation dose data from X-ray modalities and allows for enhanced customer data analysis. In addition to expanded integration with Philips IntelliSpace PACS, IntelliBridge Enterprise and vendor neutral third-party radiology dictation software, DoseWise Portal 2.2 also includes:
- Expanded connectivity to Philips DoseAware products – Compatibility with DoseAware and DoseAware Xtend combines patient and staff dose information into a single display for deep analytics of radiation exposure. The entire family of DoseAware products are now compatible with DoseWise Portal.
- Customised user-friendly Analytics Package – Intuitive user interface and enhanced 'Chart Builder' charting and graphing functionality simplifies reporting needs and includes a customisable dashboard and popular reporting formats.
