    Is Your Radiology Department Still Working Separately From Your HMIS?

    Many hospitals have modern imaging equipment but still run registration, radiology and image access as separate workflows.

    Radiology technicians manually re-enter patient names and IDs on imaging equipment.

    Typing mistakes can create mismatched patient records.

    Patient registration and radiology operate as separate workflows.

    Imaging studies remain on individual machines.

    Staff waste time finding previous studies.

    Doctors may need separate systems to access patient information and images.

    Reception cannot easily track whether a requested radiology study has been completed.

    Hospitals may already have PACS, but it is not properly connected to HMIS workflow.

    ZentroHMS helps connect these workflows through DICOM-based integration.

    Discuss Your Radiology Workflow
    How the workflow works

    From Patient Order to PACS and Connected Hospital Workflow

    Step 1

    Patient Registration / Imaging Order

    Patient details and the required imaging study are created within the hospital workflow.

    Step 2

    DICOM Modality Worklist

    For compatible modalities, patient and study information can be made available through DICOM Modality Worklist.

    Step 3

    Technician Selects the Patient

    Instead of typing the patient's complete information again, the technician selects the scheduled study on supported equipment.

    Step 4

    Imaging Study Is Performed

    The imaging equipment performs the study using the associated patient information.

    Step 5

    DICOM Study Transfer

    The resulting DICOM study can be transferred according to the configured hospital workflow.

    Step 6

    PACS / Image Storage

    Images can be sent to the configured PACS or imaging archive where applicable.

    Step 7

    Connected Hospital Workflow

    Radiology information remains closer to the patient workflow for authorised hospital users.

    DICOM Modality Worklist

    Reduce Repeated Patient Entry With DICOM Modality Worklist

    When compatible imaging equipment supports DICOM Modality Worklist, patient and study details can be provided from the hospital workflow to the modality.

    • Reduce repetitive manual patient entry.
    • Improve consistency of patient IDs and demographics.
    • Reduce spelling and typing mistakes.
    • Improve technician workflow.
    • Make imaging orders easier to identify.
    • Keep reception and radiology more closely connected.
    Check Your Machine Compatibility
    PACS Integration

    Connect Your PACS With the Hospital Workflow

    ZentroHMS can integrate with compatible PACS and DICOM environments based on the hospital's technical requirements.

    Imaging Modalities

    DICOM Gateway

    PACS / Image Archive

    Hospital Workflow

    • Imaging stored separately across machines.
    • Difficult historical-study retrieval.
    • Separate patient identifiers.
    • No central imaging workflow.
    • Multiple disconnected systems.

    ZentroHMS does not need to replace every PACS product. It can participate in DICOM/PACS workflows depending on the hospital's existing setup.

    Connect Cloud HMIS With Imaging Equipment Inside Your Hospital LAN

    A hospital imaging machine is generally available on the hospital's internal network rather than directly exposed to the internet. Where required, ZentroHMS can use a local gateway deployed within the hospital network to securely facilitate approved DICOM workflows between compatible devices and the hospital platform.

    No need to directly expose modalities to the public internet.
    Works with hospital LAN architecture.
    Central point for integration.
    Easier device routing and management.

    Business benefits

    Practical Outcomes for Hospital Owners, Administrators and Radiology Teams

    Reduce Duplicate Data Entry

    Staff spend less time entering the same patient information across different systems.

    Reduce Identification Errors

    Consistent patient information helps reduce mistakes caused by repeated manual entry.

    Faster Radiology Workflow

    Technicians can access scheduled patient studies more efficiently on supported equipment.

    Connect Departments

    Reception, doctors and radiology can operate within a more connected patient workflow.

    Centralise Imaging Workflows

    Integrate compatible imaging equipment and PACS environments instead of managing isolated machines.

    Better Patient Experience

    Reduce unnecessary delays created by disconnected systems and repetitive administrative tasks.

    FAQ

    DICOM PACS Integration Questions Hospitals Usually Ask

    What is DICOM integration in a hospital?

    DICOM integration connects compatible medical imaging equipment, PACS environments and hospital workflows so patient and study information can move more consistently between systems.

    What is DICOM Modality Worklist?

    DICOM Modality Worklist lets compatible imaging equipment receive scheduled patient and study details from the hospital workflow, so technicians can select the study instead of typing every detail again.

    Can ZentroHMS connect with X-ray machines?

    ZentroHMS can integrate with compatible DICOM-enabled X-ray, CR and DR systems subject to manufacturer, model, enabled DICOM services and network assessment.

    Can ZentroHMS connect with ultrasound machines?

    Yes, where the ultrasound machine supports the required DICOM services such as Modality Worklist or DICOM transfer, ZentroHMS can be assessed for integration.

    Can ZentroHMS integrate with CT and MRI machines?

    ZentroHMS can participate in CT and MRI DICOM workflows when the modality, hospital network and PACS configuration support the required services.

    What information is required to check DICOM compatibility?

    Our team may check equipment manufacturer, model, AE Title, IP address, DICOM port, Modality Worklist support, PACS details, LAN configuration and required routing workflow.

    Can ZentroHMS integrate with an existing PACS?

    ZentroHMS can integrate with compatible PACS and DICOM environments based on the hospital's technical requirements and the existing PACS configuration.

    What is the difference between DICOM and PACS?

    DICOM is the medical imaging communication standard. PACS is usually the archive or system used to store, retrieve and view imaging studies.

    Does the imaging machine need internet access?

    Usually no direct public internet exposure is required for the modality. Where needed, a local DICOM gateway can operate inside the hospital LAN and communicate through approved secure channels.

    What is an AE Title?

    An AE Title is a DICOM Application Entity Title. It identifies a DICOM device or service during communication between modalities, gateways and PACS systems.

    Can multiple imaging machines be connected?

    Multiple compatible modalities can be assessed and configured depending on the hospital LAN, DICOM services, PACS routing and storage requirements.

    Can ZentroHMS work with machines from different manufacturers?

    It may be possible when each machine supports the required DICOM services. Compatibility is checked machine by machine before implementation.

    Does every imaging machine support Modality Worklist?

    No. Modality Worklist support depends on the manufacturer, model, license options and enabled DICOM services for that equipment.

    Can ZentroHMS integrate radiology with billing and patient records?

    ZentroHMS is designed to connect patient registration, appointments, clinical workflows, billing and compatible radiology workflows so imaging can fit into the patient journey.
