Resumo(s)
The purpose of this study has consisted in the analysis of the impact of Digital
Technology and Teleradiology in the assistance capacity of the Imagiology Department of
Hospital Padre Américo – Vale do Sousa, in the first 4 years of activity. We analysed
statistically the clinical and material data of how the Department works and we assessed the
results obtained from the inquiry done to the Medical and Technician staff, concerning the
importance of Digital Technology and Teleradiology. In the period that we analysed, we
observed that the increased use of Computerized Tomographies matched the needs of the
Outpatient, Inpatient and Emergency Department. The average time of patient’s internment
was reduced and the hospital transference index from the Emergency Department was greatly
reduced in 2004 and in 2005. If we compare it with the Conventional System, we verify that
the costs of the Digital System were due to the buying, maintenance and updating of adequate
equipment, while operating costs with personal and materials were lower in percentage, if
compared with the costs of assistance statistics. Most of the professionals acknowledged the
advantages of the Digital System and most of them have adjusted well to the new technology
and expressed themselves favourably towards Teleradiology. We can conclude that the
implementation of the Digital System in the Imagiology Department lead to an improvement
in its services and that Teleradiology was also an advantage (in spite of its costs), allowing the
interpretation of the Neuroradiology exams and the permanent reading of the Computerized
Tomographies outside the normal hospital schedule.
