RULES-BASED WORKFLOW

ORGANIZE

A workflow that enhances efficiency and productivity

As a radiologist, you have a lot of different tasks to complete each day – and a finite number of hours in which to do them. How do you and your team organize yourselves? How do you prioritize each step at each moment – especially when you can get interrupted in the middle of tasks multiple times a day? And how do you make sure the workload is balanced, and the right people are being given the right tasks, at the right time?

A task-based system that works for you

Instead of using a status-driven approach – where everyone determines for themselves their next steps based on the status of a study –, with Agfa HealthCare’s rules-based workflow engine, information, tasks and events flow to you, based on the rules and priorities that you have defined.

Work is pushed directly to your task list, and slotted in the correct place. You get notified of the steps you need to perform and can easily see an overview of the remaining work, sorted according to priority. And if you get interrupted for any reason, you can pick right up where you left off.

Balance and collaboration

It’s easier to balance workloads, as well. Since there is transparency on how much work each person still has to complete, tasks are quickly assigned to someone with a lighter workload. You can help assure that the right specialist receives the right tasks, steps don’t get overlooked, staff doesn’t get overloaded and collaboration is facilitated.

A customizable, transparent and agile workflow that matches your own way of working. Enterprise Imaging’s rules-based workflow engine organizes your work around your tasks – prioritizing them, keeping track of their status and reminding you of what needs to be done next.

� Department- and hospital-defined flows are followed � Efficiency and collaboration are enhance � Operational costs and risk of error are reduced � Task-based rules engine helps enable delivery of innovative AI solutions

All while enabling you to continuously improve and optimize your processes, to support better quality of care.

CUSTOMIZE

A more agile organization

Since every healthcare organization is different, the rules-based workflow engine can be flexibly customized, on multi-ple levels. For example, who is the right person to complete a certain task? Who has the authority to create, correct and/or approve a medical report? What is the priority of a task – is it for an emergency patient or another patient?

‘Business rules’ made-to-order

These processes make up the ‘business rules’ of your workflow engine, which can be set with the user-friendly system configuration mechanism. So your workflow answers your needs, and meets your responsibilities in terms of regulations and quality requirements, while giving you the agility to adapt as those needs evolve. The rules-based workflow is more flexible when there is a deviation, as well. Instead of adding more comments to a study – which becomes cumbersome and confusing –, it is easy to configure a different next step to keep the workflow smooth.

IMPROVE

Embedding best practices

Improving processes and outcomes is a constant concern for every healthcare professional, department and enterprise.Agfa HealthCare’s rules-based workflow engine lets you embed best practices right into the workflow so that they can play their role in supporting better quality of care.

Continuous improvement loop

You can measure the efficiency of your practices, and then adapt the system configuration to optimize your efficiency and productivity, while minimizing operational costs. By continuing to measure and ‘tune’ different characteristics of your processes, you create a continuous improvement loop.

PERSONALIZE

Radiologists will be at the forefront when it comes to helping deliver more personalized care. AI will not replace radiol-ogist or other physician, but fact enhance and streamline their workflow even further by empowering them in their eco-system, and help them take collaborative and intelligent decisions. If IA is not embedded into the clinical workflow, the perceived benefits will not be realized.

Enterprise Imaging powered by AI, will help improve radiology tasks even further with task-based workflow optimization. Physicians will benefit from fast access to critical results that require immediate attention, helping reduce wait times and improve referral services for cases that require urgent patient care coordination. This helps care organizations progress from descriptive to predictive analytics models to improve early detection of diseases and introduce care plan models that help enforce and improve patient engagement and compliance.
