Streamline Communications in Radiology

The background to the study was Unified Communications (UC), defined as Communications integrated to optimize business processes. A case study design is used to develop a LoFi-prototype. The prototype investigateswhat components an integrated communication solution should provide,for the people in radiology. The design was inspired by consumer products like Skype. In these consumer products were functionality and look studied. The reason for integrate it into Sectra MEI…
