We are looking to recruit a Data Assistant to join the Digital Diagnostics Team.  The team are based in the Radiology Department, they manage the RIS and PACS systems.  The RIS (Radiology Information System) stores all aspects of the patient's radiology appointment from receiving the request to attending the appointment and a report being created.  PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) is the database that stores the imaging.  PACS is used by clinicians in the radiology department and by clinicians in the Trust and community.  PACS and RIS are integrated together and to other Trust systems to allow the flow of digital information.   Both systems are considered critical systems and are used 24/7.

The PACS Manager and RIS Manager are responsible for maintaining these systems and ensuring that the information stored on them is accurate.   They are supported by Data Assistants who do the daily data quality tasks.  The Data Assistants ensure the information stored on the databases are correct, they also monitor the IEP (Image Exchange Portal) and migrate imported images to link with the patient’s records.  PACS and RIS experience is not essential but would be beneficial.

The Data Assistant’s role is to support the PACS manager and the RIS manager in keeping all patient and departmental data up to date and correct by planned, ad hoc and continuous data checking and updating.  They are able to assist the users of both PACS and RIS. 

The Radiology Department is multidisciplinary in its nature, the Data Assistants work with all other teams within the department and the Trust to ensure processes are adhered to and data is therefore accurate.

The Digital Diagnostics Team are responsible for the IEP (Image Exchange Portal) and have a good working knowledge of eCare and ICE.  The team are often contacted to resolve obscure and complex issues, an analytical approach is essential.  The working environment can become demanding when a system error occurs, the ability to remain calm under pressure is beneficial.
