G-SCREENING brochure
G-Screening is a web-based platform designed to manage the entire population screening journey, from patient invitation and enrollment to diagnostics and follow-up care, in one integrated system. It streamlines clinical workflows, improves patient engagement, and provides real-time insights into screening program performance.
Public healthcare institutions in Montenegro: Connected diagnostics for diabetic retinopathy screening
Results
EHS successfully integrated and operationalized a teleophthalmology screening workflow within Montenegro's national radiology and diagnostic platform, demonstrating the flexibility and scalability of the enterprise imaging infrastructure.
By connecting patient data, fundus imaging devices, PACS, and diagnostic workflows, the platform enabled healthcare providers to perform diabetic retinopathy screening through a fully digital process spanning primary care and specialist review.
Within the first month of implementation:
-
- 790 screenings were performed
- 710 assessments were completed
- More than 200 patients were identified with diabetes-related retinal changes requiring monitoring or further evaluation
The project demonstrated that the national diagnostic platform can support new clinical workflows beyond radiology, creating a foundation for future telemedicine and screening initiatives.
The challenge
Healthcare providers needed a scalable way to screen patients with diabetes for early signs of eye disease, without overloading specialist services.
Key challenges included:
-
-
- Identifying and reaching patients with diabetes across multiple locations
- Lack of structured workflow for remote diagnostics
- Manual coordination between technicians, doctors, and patient communication
- Limited integration between imaging equipment and diagnostic systems
-
The solution
EHS supported the implementation of a teleophthalmology screening workflow through Montenegro's national radiology and diagnostic platform, built on RIS and PACS technologies and designed to support enterprise imaging workflows across healthcare institutions.
Rather than introducing a standalone solution, the project leveraged the existing national imaging infrastructure to integrate diabetic retinopathy screening into a connected diagnostic ecosystem.
The platform enabled seamless coordination between primary care providers, medical technicians, and ophthalmologists by connecting:
-
-
- Patient data and screening lists
- Fundus imaging devices
- Centralized image storage and review through PACS
- Diagnostic reporting and workflow management through RIS
-
This implementation demonstrated how the national enterprise imaging platform can support new clinical use cases beyond radiology, creating a foundation for future telemedicine and screening initiatives.
How it works
The process was designed to be simple, scalable, and efficient:
-
-
- Patient identification
Patients with diabetes were identified and imported into the system based on structured data. - Scheduling & outreach
Technicians access patient lists in RIS and schedule appointments directly. - Imaging
Fundus images are captured and automatically sent to PACS. - Remote diagnosis
Doctors review images in PACS and record findings in RIS. - Patient communication
Results are shared with patients and further steps are coordinated.
- Patient identification
-
Key improvements
-
- Structured and scalable screening process for diabetic patients
- Faster and more efficient diagnostic workflows
- Reduced need for in-person specialist visits
- Improved coordination between primary care and specialists
- Foundation for future telemedicine expansion
G-RIS brochure
G-RIS is a web-based software platform developed to manage the entire radiology workflow—from order to final report—in one system. It reduces administrative overhead, improves reporting quality, and gives radiologists immediate access to the information they need.
Designed for hospital networks, private clinics, and national health systems, G-RIS supports efficient diagnostic operations and enhances patient care.
