In an era where precision and efficiency are paramount, having a Radiology Information System (RIS) that adapts to the specific needs of your practice is essential for maintaining efficiency and delivering high-quality patient care. A customisable RIS not only streamlines daily operations but also ensures your system is tailored to fit the unique workflows and demands of your practice. By offering flexible options for exam types, reporting, protocols, online bookings, and business analytics, your RIS becomes a strategic asset that helps your practice run smoothly and effectively. Let's explore how a fully customisable RIS can transform your practice.

Services: Fully Customised Standardized Exam Types

Customising exam types within your RIS allows you to avoid the guesswork, ensuring consistency and accuracy. Here’s how:

• Appropriate Item Numbers: the system automatically generates the most appropriate item number for each service, based on the provided information—eliminating the need for manual guesswork.
• Billing Preferences by Worksite: Every worksite in your practice may have different billing requirements. Customising how each location bills for services ensures a seamless and transparent billing process.
• Tailored Imaging Requirements: Define the specific imaging requirements for each worksite based on its unique needs, allowing for more targeted and precise imaging solutions.
• 
  

Reporting: Tailored to Your Preferences

Custom reporting options allow your RIS to deliver exactly the right data to the right people, when they need it.

• Provider-Based Report Distribution: Customise the distribution of reports by provider numbers, ensuring that each physician or specialist sees only the reports relevant to their work.
• Custom Reporting Lists: Create customised reporting lists, allowing you to define who sees which reports and when they can access them. This level of control streamlines workflow and enhances efficiency across departments.
• Reporting Pools: Instead of assigning reports to a specific individual, reporting pools allow for the creation of customisable groups. This flexibility ensures that the right team handles reports, increasing both speed and accuracy in reporting processes.

 

Approvals: Protocol Your Way

Protocols are essential for maintaining consistency across departments and work sites. Customising your protocol workflow ensures that everything runs smoothly, and more importantly, how you need it to.

• Custom Protocols: Define visibility for each protocol based on service type, department, or worksite. This ensures that each segment of your practice operates with protocols tailored to their specific workflow and patient needs.
• Digital Questionnaires: Say goodbye to paper worksheets. Custom protocols allow for the digital distribution of questionnaires to the relevant roles within the workflow, making the process more efficient and eliminating the need for physical handoffs.

 

Online Bookings: Fully Integrated and Customizable

Online booking systems are becoming an indispensable part of modern healthcare practices. Having one that integrates smoothly with your RIS offers numerous customization options:

• Service and Time Customization: The web-integrated online booking module allows you to customize which services are available for booking, and how far into the future appointments can be made. This eliminates confusion for both patients and staff.
• Custom Service Prep Notes: Define which preparation notes are visible to patients and which are accessible only to staff. This customization helps avoid miscommunication and ensures that everyone has the information they need at the right time.
• No More Double-Booking: Online bookings automatically reserve the appropriate room and time, ensuring that double-booking is no longer a risk. This prevents scheduling mishaps and improves the patient experience.

 

Business Analytics: Tailored Insights for Better Decision-Making

Custom business analytics features ensure that your practice gets the precise insights needed to make informed decisions.

• Custom Business Reports: Generate reports based on specific metrics that matter most to your practice. Whether it’s patient throughput, resource allocation, or revenue tracking, custom reports provide the data you need, in the format you want.
• Targeted Report Distribution: Distribute business reports to customized groups, ensuring that the right people have access to the insights necessary for improving operations and driving growth.

Seamless Integration

In addition to offering a wide range of customization options, our RIS is designed for seamless integration with the tools and systems you already rely on. We integrate with most Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) vendors, ensuring that your imaging data flows smoothly between systems. This interoperability enhances efficiency and reduces the risk of data silos. Furthermore, our RIS integrates with Medical Objects, allowing for streamlined communication and data exchange between healthcare providers. These integration capabilities ensure that your practice operates as a unified, efficient system, minimizing disruptions and maximizing productivity.

Conclusion

A customizable RIS transforms from a simple scheduling and reporting tool into a powerful ally that helps you tailor your workflows, reports, and business strategies to fit your practice's unique needs. Whether you’re customizing service types, reporting mechanisms, or booking systems, RIS customization allows you to optimize your operations, improve patient care, and gain the insights necessary to grow your practice.
