    Practical Workflow Problems, Not Just Software Modules

    Hospitals face delays when implementation delays caused by missing DICOM node configuration details.

    Patient identifiers may differ between HMIS and imaging workflows.

    Compatibility assumptions can delay implementation.

    PACS may be present but not connected with hospital workflow.

    Connected workflow

    How Information Moves Through the Hospital Workflow

    Identify device
    Confirm AE Title
    Confirm IP
    Confirm port
    Test DICOM communication

    Prerequisites

    A technical assessment should check modality manufacturer, model, enabled DICOM services, AE Title, IP address, DICOM port, hospital LAN, PACS setup and required routing workflow.

    Limitations

    ZentroHMS should not be assumed to support every imaging machine automatically. Actual integration depends on the modality, enabled services, network environment and PACS configuration.

    Common implementation issues

    Common issues include missing Modality Worklist licenses, wrong AE Title, blocked ports, network segmentation, outdated modality software and unclear PACS routing rules.
