RIS is used for which of the following?

• A. Managing patient pharmaceutical records
• B. Patient scheduling, providing previous imaging history, and generating reports
• C. Storing only paper charts
• D. Printing patient id badges

Answer: (B)

Radiology Information System coordinates the radiology workflow by handling patient scheduling for imaging studies, providing access to prior imaging history for comparison, and generating radiology reports. It ties together patient data with study requests and results, while the actual image data live in the PACS. It isn’t designed to manage pharmaceutical records, store only paper charts, or print patient ID badges, which are handled by other systems or devices.
