Stop retyping orders and chasing reports.
SOMATIQ connects your hospital RIS-PACS to the HIS over HL7 and FHIR, so every department, from emergency to OPD, gets its images and signed reports in one place.
In a hospital, radiology serves everyone: emergency, the wards, ICU, OPD and outside referrers. Each of them orders in the HIS, then picks up the phone to ask where the report is. With SOMATIQ, the order arrives without retyping, the radiologist reads with priors on screen, and the signed report goes straight back to the HIS and the clinician who asked.
The problem
- Orders typed twice. The ward orders a CT in the HIS, and someone in radiology types it again into a second system. A name is misspelt, an ID changes or left becomes right, and the radiologist reports on a request that no longer matches the order.
- Clinicians chasing results. The ICU calls radiology to ask if the report is ready, then asks for a CD or a photo of the monitor on WhatsApp. The radiologist is interrupted mid-read, and the clinician still decides without the images.
- Every department wants something different. Emergency needs the urgent CT read first, oncology needs today's scan beside the last three, and OPD needs reports patients can collect without queueing. Radiology juggles all three with tools built for none of them.
- Quality review lives in a spreadsheet. Peer review happens outside the reading workflow, if at all, and accreditation evidence is pieced together by hand the week before an audit. Radiologists lose time to paperwork, and the quality team can't show what was reviewed.
How SOMATIQ handles it
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| HL7/FHIR integration with HIS, EMR and LIS | The HIS stays the master for patients and orders; radiology picks them up without retyping |
| Modality worklist | Ordered exams appear on the scanner console with correct patient details |
| Zero-footprint viewer with 3D/MPR, mobile and tablet access | Clinicians open images in a browser on the ward, in OPD or on a phone |
| Patient portal, email and WhatsApp delivery | Reports reach patients and outside referrers without a counter visit |
| Collaborative viewer | A radiologist can securely share their viewer with a clinician or colleague and go through a case together |
| Built-in speech-to-text and LLM-assisted drafting | Faster reports, with impression checks and inconsistency detection before sign-off |
| Peer review queue | Quality review is part of the workflow, not a side spreadsheet |
| Teaching archive with case tagging and Report Finder | Interesting cases are tagged as you go; past reports are searchable, and legacy reports can be migrated in |
| Role-based access, MFA, audit trails, AES-256 encryption | Who viewed or changed what is on record |
How a study moves
From the order in the HIS to the report back with the clinician, here is who does what.
- Clinician: the order. Placed in the HIS and sent to SOMATIQ over HL7 or FHIR, so radiology never retypes it.
- Front desk: registration and billing. On the same patient record, with no re-entry.
- Technician: the scan. The exam is already on the scanner's worklist, and images go to the vendor neutral archive.
- Radiologist: the read. In the browser viewer, with priors on screen and speech-to-text or LLM-assisted drafting.
- Clinician and patient: the report. Back in the HIS for the ordering clinician, and to the patient by email or WhatsApp.
Trusted by 130+ imaging centres across 3 countries
SOMATIQ works with some of India's leading healthcare institutions, and the same platform runs very different radiology set-ups:
- Centres in more than one city. NewMedd Diagnostics connects its Bengaluru and Mysore centres for image sharing, reporting and case allocation.
- Teleradiology. OM Diagnostics keeps reporting running through remote radiologists when in-house radiologists are short.
- Across borders. TX Biomarker connects its imaging centre with radiologists in other countries.
Questions buyers ask
Does SOMATIQ replace our HIS?
No. The HIS remains the master for patients and orders. SOMATIQ handles the radiology workflow and sends results back.
Which integration standards do you support?
HL7 and FHIR for HIS, EMR and LIS, and DICOM for every modality. Ask us for an interface walkthrough with your HIS vendor.
Can clinicians see images without installing software?
Yes. The viewer runs in a browser, including on tablets and phones, with access controlled by role.
How does peer review work?
Cases go to a peer review queue inside the same system, so reviewers work in the same viewer and the record stays with the study.
Can we bring our old reports across?
Report Finder can migrate legacy reports so they are searchable alongside new ones.
