Background:
A radiology group practice with 50 physicians in 15 different locations required an integrated appointment planning system.
Objective:
The project aimed at implementation of software for resources and appointment planning in a radiology information system (RIS) and the first complete implementation in the German-speaking world.
Implementation:
The practical aspects involved the definition of diagnostic features, documentation of personnel knowledge and digitization, definition and establishment of interfaces between the appointment calendar and the RIS and definition of access privileges.
Challenges:
Problems included a high technical complexity (more than 50 interfaces), complex data material and time-consuming process (approximately 2000 working hours and total duration 9 months).
Results:
Implementation of the system resulted in faster appointment assignment (90-120 s versus 3-5 min, 6-sigma measurement), higher data quality, excellent stability (as yet no system breakdown), reduced waiting times, higher personnel efficiency and improved utilization of instruments.
