Radiology recently hired new residents, one of which has misplaced MRI scans for an upcoming patient visitation. Which data system should be used to acquire these scans prior to the visit?
Pharmacy information system
Radiology-information system
Laboratory-information system
Picture archiving and communication system
The Correct Answer is B
A. Pharmacy information system. – This system manages medications and inventory in the pharmacy but is unrelated to imaging or radiology.
B. Radiology-information system. – This system organizes, tracks, and manages radiology-related data, including scheduling and reports, which would be useful for locating misplaced MRI scans.
C. Laboratory-information system. – This system manages lab test data, such as bloodwork or pathology, but is unrelated to imaging studies like MRI.
D. Picture archiving and communication system. – While this system stores and allows access to imaging files (like MRIs), it does not manage radiology workflows, making the Radiology Information System (RIS) the more suitable choice.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Enabling the narration tool and making the device features more accessible by providing remote technical support. – This option would directly assist the patient in navigating the platform more easily by providing auditory guidance and technical help, making the portal more user-friendly.
B. Enhancing the readability of text. – This is beneficial, but if the patient has difficulties navigating the platform, it may not be sufficient to address their overall usability concerns.
C. Consider changing platforms or supporting the patient's preference to use phone calls. – While this respects the patient's preference, it does not address the potential to improve their experience with the existing portal.
D. Turning on notifications for recurring appointments or enabling a default time-based notification requesting an appointment. – This would improve reminders but does not assist the patient with navigating or using the portal.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Referring the patient to their primary care physician. – This may be helpful, but it could delay the patient’s ability to make informed decisions about their medication purchase.
B. Communicating with the pharmacy and the patient's primary care physician to acquire the necessary documents. – This could be time-consuming and may not be necessary for over-the-counter medication.
C. Referring the patient to the associated pharmacy agent. – Pharmacy agents are knowledgeable about medications, including over-the-counter options, and can provide immediate guidance on contraindications.
D. Communicating via the patient portal while utilizing the presented allergy data available to assist the patient through the same portal. – While the patient portal can be helpful, it may not provide real-time assistance compared to direct communication with pharmacy staff.
