· Radiology Information Systems are a networked software that is used for managing imaging and associated data. It is also used for tracking imaging orders and billing information. It also serves other functions such as: patient management, scheduling, patient tracking, results reporting, image tracking, and billing. (TechTarget, n.d.).

Human factors will play a critical role in the successful implementation of the Radiology Information System. Since users will have to enter information into the Radiology Information Systems, it is important that they are trained on the system. If a user does not know how to correctly enter in a patients results, it could mean a misdiagnosis for the patient. It could also lead to wrongful billing. 

In order to mitigate human factors risks when implementing the system, it is important that all users are thoroughly trained on the system and its uses. Adequate training should be provided before the personnel begins having access and dealing with patient information. When there is adequate training, there is less room for mistakes and mishaps.
