Maximizing Quality and Asset Management
New Challenges
Managing expensive capital equipment resources to optimize resource utilization, while simultaneously providing timely patient care is a complex challenge. Today, radiology services face competition and a demand for transparent quality metrics, and physicians need simplified access to point-of-order scheduling.
Point-of-Order Scheduling
Replace error prone phone and fax processes with immediate, online point-of-order scheduling. Online enterprise scheduling greatly enhances physician productivity and presents hospitals and radiology groups with a new opportunity for market share growth.

Once an order has been placed and approved, it can be scheduled immediately at the correct location and for the correct resource.
Point-of-order scheduling maximizes resource utilization and increases patient satisfaction by:
- Maximizing the capacity of high-tech imaging equipment
- Increasing appointment availability and reducing patient wait times
- Providing enterprise scheduling for ordering physicians or their designates
- Providing centralized scheduling by radiology service providers
- Linking directly with Clinical Decision Support with pre-authorization if required
