X-ray workflow process was considered in both radiology departments. First, the study identified the main phases of the research work as follows: Process Analysis, Data Collection and Elaboration, Interpretation. Afterwards, the main steps of the whole image acquisition process were defined, and each step was divided into a number of elementary operations. Then, the time required to complete each of these was measured. Data collected were elaborated and synthesized to obtain time frequency distributions for each step and evaluation of the total time for the whole working flow. Statistical elaboration of the collected data shows that x-ray working time decreases, between 35% and 57%, when RIS/PACS is used. Detailed analysis of the whole working process allows identification of possible critical points to improve the image acquisition process.

The workflow times have been directly read from RIS database. In particular, Execution and Reporting steps were considered. Afterwards, data have been analyzed through a statistical elaboration and results were compared with data, coming from studies performed on similar process, collected with a stopwatch method. Possible "bottlenecks" can be evidenced in the process structure. Moreover, comparing hospitals with the same RIS/PACS system, different internal organization is emphasized.
