ABSTRACT Background: Efficiency while paying attention to service quality is the top priority of the hospital. The efficiency in radiology installations has also not gone unnoticed. The implementation of Picture Archiving and Commucating System (PACS) and Radiology Information System (RIS) is one of the efforts to control costs in radiology installations, especially in consumables’ efficiency (BHP). Bukittinggi National Stroke Hospital (RSSN), as one of the vertical hospitals located in the City of Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, has become a precursor to the implementation of PACS and RIS in this province. This study aimed to determine effect of material using ct scan and mri after use of picture archiving and communicating system and radiology information system at radiological installation of Bukittinggi national hospital, West Sumatra. Subjects and Method: This was a descriptive study conducted at Radiological Installation Of Bukittinggi National Hospital, West Sumatra from July 2020. The data were collected by observation and monthly report data. Results: The results of the analysis of the use of PACS and RIS had a significant impact on the cost efficiency of BHP CT scans and MRIs in the RSSN radiology installation reaching 97.9%. Conclusion: Transfer of CT scan and MRI results from film to DVD-R for internal RSSN patients with considerable efficiency. Keyword: PACS, RIS, cost control, BHP Correspondence: Widya.

Objectives: The aim of this paper is to assess the acute haemorrhage rate in patients who had CT head investigation out-of-hours with and without trauma and compare the rates of haemorrhage between warfarin and DOACs, at a busy teritary teaching hospital. Methods: All CT heads performed between January 2008 and December 2019 were identified from the radiology information system (RIS) at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals (STH), with the requesting information being available from January 2015. The clinical information was assessed for the mention of trauma or anticoagulation and the reports were categorised into acute and non-acute findings. Results: Between 2008 and 2019 the number of scans increased by 63%, with scans performed out of hours increasing by 278%. Between 2015 and 2019, the incidence of acute ICH was similar over the 5 year period, averaging at 6.9% and ranging from 6.1 to 7.6%. The rate of detection of acute haemorrhage following trauma was greater in those not anticoagulated (6.8%), compared with patients on anticoagulants such as warfarin (5.2%) or DOACs (2.8%). Conclusions: Over 12 years, there has been a significant increase in the number of CT heads performed at STH. The rate of ICH has remained steady over the last 5 years indicating a justified increase in imaging demand. However the incidence of ICH in patients prescribed DOACs is lower than the general population and those on warfarin. Advances in knowledge: : This finding in a large centre should prompt discussion of the risk of bleeding with DOACs in relation to CT head imaging guidelines.
