Implementing a RIS/PACS Solution is a Significant Decision For Any Imaging Center

While such decisions can improve efficiencies, the financial investment required for RIS/PACS implementations present significant obstacles. Many organizations are forced to postpone strategic decisions and manage with existing processes and technologies; typically resulting in unrealized revenue and higher operating costs. The situation is worsened by reduced reimbursements due to the introduction of the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA).

An Efficient Scheduling Solution Need Not Be Out of Reach

As smaller imaging centers look for cost-effective solutions to meet these challenges, one area that has been beyond reach is a simplified solution for patient bookings and modality scheduling. Many RIS solutions available on the market today are designed for larger hospitals and healthcare institutions. Many require significant financial investment followed by lengthy and complex deployment schedules.

In contrast to large-scale RIS systems, Cedara WebScheduler is a compact, cost-effective scheduling solution for managing patient and modality resources in busy diagnostic imaging centers. Key functionalities include:

Unified view of available time slots and resources for high volume scheduling

Centralized modality management reducing idle time on expensive resources

Modality Worklist to prevent patient demographic errors

Unified calendar to prevent scheduling conflicts in multi-modality environment

Efficient procedure and status tracking tools that promote increased volume

Meaningful report generation for order tracking and billing purposes

Reduce Administration Costs While Improving Customer Experience

Cedara WebScheduler comes with standard features like patient registration, smart search, exportable reports for billing and distribution, active order dashboard and color-coded appointment status; all designed for the dynamic imaging center environment. Customizable features are available to define your imaging center site, modalities, procedures and physicians.

Minimize Repetitive Check-In Tasks

Cedara WebScheduler saves required information such as insurance pre-authorization and procedure questionnaires which can be retrieved promptly and conveniently for returning patients. Reducing repetitious check-in tasks for recurring appointments reduces administration costs while improving patient experience.
