How Do You Continuously Improve Outcomes? Experts Vote for Focusing on Workflow

The transition to value-based care is pushing radiology beyond its traditional borders, and success in this new model is measured in better patient outcomes. A more integrated, collaborative radiology workflow can connect both systems and people, which helps provide much-needed context for better patient care.

 

Here are four characteristics of an integrated, value-based radiology workflow:

• Making the connection between images and the EHR
• Viewing software as part of the ecosystem
• Removing barriers to communication with interoperability
• Using intelligent imaging and workflow management

Using our radiology solution to streamline and improve workflow, healthcare organizations are seeing the results of continuously improving outcomes. According to the director of PACS at a medium enterprise healthcare company, “Utilizing the web-based product for our referring physicians has helped us to eliminate printing of film/CDs and has helped to provide better patient care and patient outcomes.”¹

Workflow and infrastructure expert Tomer Levy isn’t surprised by results like these. “Widespread access to images helps all of a patient’s care providers make accurate decisions about diagnosis and treatment.”
