Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Administration
  • Radiology Management
  • Information Systems

Background:

  • Radiology administrators face dual responsibilities: managing daily operations and strategic future planning.
  • Effective management of radiology services requires robust data for informed decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the utility of Computer Aided Facility Management (CAFM) as a tool for radiology administrators.
  • To demonstrate how CAFM can enhance resource management and strategic planning in radiology departments.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Computer Aided Facility Management (CAFM) integrating Autocad (graphical data) and MUMPS-based systems (operational information).
  • Applied CAFM to analyze radiology service productivity and life cycle costs.
  • Employed data analysis to support management decisions.

Main Results:

  • CAFM provided up-to-date data crucial for managing radiology services.
  • Analysis enabled informed decisions regarding equipment replacement and facility renovation projects.
  • Effective resource management was achieved through data-driven insights.

Conclusions:

  • Computer Aided Facility Management (CAFM) is a valuable tool for radiology administrators.
  • CAFM facilitates strategic planning and optimizes resource allocation in radiology departments.
  • Implementing CAFM supports evidence-based decision-making for operational and capital investments.
