Diogene
Diogene was developed in the 1970's by Professeur Jean-Raoul Scherrer, MD at the University Hospital in Geneva, Switzerland. Originally developed to support adminstrative procedures, Diogene now supports many applications including lab,radiology,pharmacy. The system has both a centralized patient database, and centralized group of operators who train and support users.
Unimage is a new radiology information system (RIS), that has been implemented at the Cantonal University Hospital of Geneva within the framework of the migration towards the DIOGENE 2 hospital information system. It was designed to fit the needs of the radiology department, and to operate in different services, i.e. diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine and therapy radiology. It offers a simple two-way data communication with the PACS world. It was designed for a distributed environment, as well as a graphical (X/Motif) user interface.
