With the RAYLYTIC Platform, doctors can electronically document all the necessary data for SIRIS, which is then transmitted to the register. At the same time, the questionnaires are stored as PDF files in the hospital&#8217;s KIS, allowing the hospital to use them internally.<\/p><p>In this way, doctors not only avoid additional administrative work and unnecessary data entry, but also meet legal requirements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74eb35b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"74eb35b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Integration with scheduling software<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58155950 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58155950\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Thanks to the integration of the RAYLYTIC Platform with the hospital&#8217;s appointment scheduling, patients can fill out the questionnaires at the right time according to planned and changing appointments. A few days before the planned hospital visit, patients receive an email notification reminding them to fill out their questionnaire from home.<\/p><p>Most patients have their results available at their next hospital visit.
