User Stories
I work as a physician assistant in oncology surgery, CRISP DC helps me prepare for patients upcoming surgeries. I had a patient coming in for a mastectomy and CRISP DC allowed me to identify prior imaging the patient may have forgotten about. For a patient coming in for a mastectomy it is important to have prior mammograms and ultrasounds and see any calcifications or masses and allows me to better prepare for the surgery.
On several occasions the identification of prior X-ray films and reports has led to avoiding unnecessary surgical interventions for patients. CRISP DC can be very useful for patients who have been admitted to an outside facility and allows us to follow up on patients imaging results, lab results, and pathology results. It is an easy tool to access directly through our EHR system.
I had a patient appointment following up from a mid July visit to discuss a referral to pain management about her chronic low back pain. She had seen pain management, and he had ordered an MRI. She had brought the disc because she wanted me to see it. She is supposed to get an epidural injection today.
There were no reports in the chart and the MA was too busy to go and pull the report. I took the plunge and logged in and pulled up the image. I really did not know how to navigate and the image was challenging to see. But I pulled up a google image first that showed clearer anatomy of a normal MRI of the lumbar spine and then I clicked over to the imagine of her spine in CRISP and showed her the disc bulge.
I told her that she was the first patient that I had used this feature. She got a kick out of that. But that is a perfect example of how imagine capture can be used in primary care. I did not order it and there was no report received from pain management, but I did the referral. I copied the impression from the written report and pasted it into my note.
I was able to close the loop for the patient, document the results and reassured the patient that I had access to all of her information. All within 15 minutes with just a few clicks.
