    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Radiology Department Management
    • Operational Efficiency in Healthcare

    Background:

    • Manual handling of patient information is labor-intensive and prone to errors.
    • Existing scheduling systems often struggle with peak loads and resource allocation.
    • Inefficient scheduling leads to examination conflicts and redundant procedures, impacting productivity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of computer registration systems on patient information handling.
    • To assess the benefits of sophisticated scheduling systems in radiology departments.
    • To determine how optimized scheduling enhances departmental productivity.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a computer-based patient registration system.
    • Deployment of advanced scheduling software to manage patient flow.
