Abstract

The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Standards Committee has balloted and accepted a new class of objects dealing with the generation, distribution, and management of reports. The structured reporting (SR) objects bridge the traditional separation between imaging and information systems. The DICOM SR objects offer a higher level of integration of the medical enterprise, providing practitioners with an effective tool to cover all aspects of the medical process from admission to discharge. This report presents the technical challenges posed by integrating the concepts introduced by SR with a complete hospital information system (HIS).
