Westside Medical Imaging begins RadForms trial across Sydney west
Westside Medical Imaging trials Trucell RadForms across three Sydney west sites: nine intake templates, seven roles, SMS and tablet capture, and PDFs routed to PACS.
Westside Medical Imaging runs imaging across Wetherill Park, Bonnyrigg, and Wentworthville. The group is trialling Trucell RadForms to remove paper from intake and consent without slowing throughput. Services, locations, and booking details for patients and referrers sit on the practice site at wsmi.com.au.
At a glance: nine RadForms templates · seven role profiles · three sites · SMS pre arrival plus tablet completion in department · PDFs linked to each study into PACS for reporting.
Paper consent only helps compliance when it is tied to the right accession. RadForms binds questionnaires and signatures to the Modality Worklist, keeps audit friendly PDFs with the study, and routes them into PACS so radiologists see the same context as the modality.
Trial snapshot in clinic
Staff start from the scheduled study on the Worklist, then open the correct digital package for that visit. The captures below are from the live RadForms UI on a rugged tablet in department.
Forms in the trial
Nine templates cover ultrasound, X-ray, CT, obstetric, paediatric, contrast, and feedback. Field counts and signature behaviour match how Westside configured RadForms for this rollout.
Used across every modality
- US Pain Diary and Post Procedure Care · 35 fields · daily pain tracking (0 to 10) and post procedure care for ultrasound guided injection pathways.
- Minor Consent Form · 27 fields · signature and routing · patients 16 years and under, parent or guardian authorization.
- Feedback and Privacy Consent · 26 fields · signature · service feedback plus privacy consent for personal health information.
- Obstetric Form · 21 fields · signature · intake with scan history, follow up, and acknowledgement.
- Patient Consent Form, Contrast Media Injection · 35 fields · signature · iodine based IV contrast with history, allergies, medications, surgery history, and renal function.
X-ray and CT
- Consent Form, Pregnancy X Ray · 8 fields · signature and rules · pregnancy consent for ionizing radiation studies.
Ultrasound procedures
- Transvaginal Ultrasound Consent Form · 25 fields · signature and rules · consent or decline and latex allergy screening.
- US Injection Consent · 46 fields · signature and rules · image guided injection or procedure with post injection pain tracking.
- Ultrasound Guided Injection Consent · 6 fields · rules · quick pre and post injection pain scales and post procedure care.
Who is using RadForms at Westside
At Westside Medical Imaging, access matches real roles so the trial reflects front desk to reporting, not a kiosk only pilot.
| Role | Access |
|---|---|
| Chief Radiographer | Supervisory across the radiography chain |
| Chief Sonographer | Supervisory across the ultrasound chain |
| Radiographer | Standard modality access, worklist tied confirmations |
| Sonographer | Standard modality access, worklist tied confirmations |
| Radiologist | Reporting access so consent and intake context arrive with the study |
| Clerical | Limited access for bookings and attaching the right template set |
| Patient | Self service consent and feedback on phone or on site |
How it fits the workflow
Clerical staff attach the right form package to a scheduled study. Patients receive an SMS pre arrival link to begin questionnaires on their own phone. Anything still outstanding at arrival is finished on a tablet during handoff. Radiographers and sonographers confirm from the Modality Worklist, conditional rules and signatures are captured digitally, and completed PDFs route into PACS. SMS and tablet paths both land on the same PDF linked to the study.
For product detail, see RadForms. Broader imaging operations context sits under PACS and RIS.
What success looks like
The team at Westside will watch clerical time from arrival to ready to scan, fewer modality rescans for missing signatures or pregnancy declarations, and complete consent context at the radiologist reporting step. Chief radiographer and chief sonographer oversight keeps template use aligned across Wetherill Park, Bonnyrigg, and Wentworthville.
