Optimizing radiology patient throughput requires improving system usability. This study suggests enhancing user interfaces and providing active learning support during examinations to reduce suboptimal system operation.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Radiology departments aim to maximize patient throughput.
  • Suboptimal system usage is a key factor limiting patient throughput.
  • Current trends in radiology necessitate efficient operational strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and discuss methods for reducing suboptimal system operation in radiology.
  • To propose improvements in user interface design and learning support for system usage.
  • To apply user-centered design principles to enhance radiology workflows.

Main Methods:

  • User-centered design principles were applied.
  • Observations of current practices were conducted.
  • Task modeling, user involvement, and prototyping were utilized.
