Types of ancillary systems and how they interact with the EHR

Draw an interface diagram that includes an EHR, a LIS, and a PACS or RIS. Look at page 14 of the lecture and Google the term "interface diagram EHR," and check out the diagrams on the "images" tab in your search result window. Make a systems diagram with arrows and identify what information would need to be interfaced between systems. For example, the EHR would send the order information to the RIS, and the RIS would send the image pointer to the EHR. Create your diagram using Word, Visio, Excel, etc. or Draw a diagram on paper and submit a picture - if you choose to draw your diagram and submit a picture, make sure your writing is legible, or submit a word document describing the flow of the data with your submission.
