Radiology Information System

Shortage of Radiologist in SA require innovative solutions. The increased number of imaging tests brought about by technological advances and easier access to radiological equipment has created a need for investment in modern software supporting the work of the imaging diagnostics department.

"There are an estimated 650 registered radiologists in South Africa, which equates to 1.2 radiologists per 100 000 people in the population. By contrast, the UK has approximately 3 000 registered radiologists with a ratio of 4.7 specialists per 100 000 while the European average is 10 per 100 000. It is clear that South Africa is facing a massive skills shortage within radiology. This is highly concerning as radiology is one of the largest categories of hospital budgets as it is utilised in almost every patient and disease category. “South Africa’s healthcare system cannot continue to operate in the current situation, where a shortage in radiologists can potentially delay or even prevent a correct diagnosis. It is imperative that we identify and utilise solutions that can assist in delivering radiological services to citizens, regardless of whether their closest
medical facility has access to a radiologist on-site,” according to Mike Simpson, CEO of IntriHEALTH,
