Una estrategia de capacitación para el uso del sistema PACS-RIS en el Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias de México

Abstract

A training strategy to use the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and the radiology information (RIS) of the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases of Mexico is presented in this work. The objective was to develop an instrument of training for each of the subsystems that comprises the system, according to the profiles of the users with the aim to promote its maximum use and thus assisting the Institute's medical services productivity. Three training courses for each of the three subsystems that form the PACS - RIS were developed and specific manuals for each type of user were generated. In general, the results revealed a considerably increase in the usage of the system. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
