• A brief tutorial on the Siemens Workflow in an Integrated Environment
• Demonstration of the Integrated Radiology Suite and Workflow
• Hands-on session for participants

The purpose of this workshop is to demonstrate the benefits of a fully functional RIS and the impact it has on a RIS/PACS departmental workflow. Participants will gain firsthand experience on the importance of re-engineering their departmental workflow and the benefits. Key measures in the Siemens approach to enhance and drive the diagnostic workflow are enhanced productivity, shorter report turnaround time to the referring clinicians, and ultimately improved patient care.
