PerformanceBridge Practice in action
Per capita cost reduction
Challenge
Highly variable imaging exams make optimal scheduling problematic and longer exams drive up operational costs.
Method
Identified target protocols by looking at volume and durations, and utilized machine log files to obtain accurate information.
Impact*
*Results are specific to the institution where they were obtained and may not reflect the results achievable at other institutions.”
Establishing data confidence
Challenge
Imaging departments have a wealth of data sources, yet each gives differing views; this makes it difficult to derive meaningful information without establishing a ground truth and data consistency.
Method
Deployed a network listener to capture HL7 and DICOM. Aggregated and reconciled data from RIS, PACS, EMR, and workflow engine with triangulated output.
Impact
Identified and addressed root causes for data discrepancies; established meaningful metrics for specific departmental performance indicators. Streamlined reporting approach across managers and reduced reporting time.
Ensuring consistent patient care through follow-up
Challenge
Patients have clinical findings leading to a follow-up recommendation, yet there isn’t a mechanism to know if follow-up typically occurs.
Method
Deployed natural language processing tools and intelligence to examine 4.5 years of historic reports across the system.
Impact
