Implementing enterprise-wide dynamic worklists improves radiologist utilization and care quality in multi-facility networks. This system enhances Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) management across diverse healthcare settings.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Health Services Research
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Radiologists in multi-facility networks face challenges managing workloads across associated clinical facilities.
  • Existing Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) may not offer integrated views of radiological workload across different sites.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation and impact of a distributed query system for enterprise-wide dynamic worklist management in a multi-facility healthcare network.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of enterprise-wide worklists in improving radiologist utilization and quality of care.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a distributed query system enabling enterprise worklist management across multiple compatible PACS.
  • Construction of dynamic worklists based on criteria such as modality, body part, and exam status.

  • Deployment across three hospitals within the Generations Plus/Northern Manhattan Health Network.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful implementation of enterprise-wide, dynamic worklist management linking three hospitals.
    • Demonstrated improvement in radiologist utilization and enhancement of care quality across the network.
    • Identified integration of other workflow-related components as an ongoing challenge.

    Conclusions:

    • Enterprise-wide dynamic worklist management is effective in optimizing radiologist resources and improving patient care in large, multi-facility healthcare organizations.
    • Distributed query systems can bridge PACS incompatibilities to enable unified workload management.
    • Further integration efforts are needed to fully optimize workflow within these complex healthcare systems.
