The challenges facing imaging today call for a new approach. Arguably the biggest challenge to optimizing radiology workflow is that it’s actually a complex web of separate workflows. Whether it’s getting a patient to show up on time for an imaging exam, acquiring the actual images, or getting the right clinical information in the hands of the referring physician, every step of the imaging process can have delays, variability and gaps in communication. All of that causes waste and frustration, and it can have a negative downstream impact on patient care. Consider some of these recent research findings from radiology departments worldwide:
45%
of radiologists report symptoms of burnout1
44%
of technologists in the US report moderate or severe levels of job stress2
97%
of radiology departments are unable to meet reporting requirements3
What are the major workflow challenges facing your radiology department today, and how do they compare with other radiology departments worldwide? Every step of the patient journey feels the pressure, from scheduling to image acquisition to diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. Download the report now to see the scope of the challenges, which is the first step in beginning to address them.
Improving and streamlining workflows is leading to significant gains:
It’s hard to compile a comprehensive view of patients when health data is distributed and sequestered across multiple applications and departments. By taking a systems view of imaging and treatment, you see the opportunities to connect and optimize workflows across the imaging enterprise – from patient management to image acquisition to image interpretation and through results communication and follow-up. This helps to improve outcomes for patients, the work experience for radiologists, technologists and administrators, and the operational and clinical efficiency of the whole department and beyond.
Some of the biggest challenges for radiology leaders stem from managing complex, disconnected workflows that can negatively impact patient care, staff experience, outcomes and cost. What if you could start solving them today?
