With a high-functioning radiology information system (RIS), operational and administrative tasks take less time and are carried out more effectively. Healthcare providers are keen to make positive changes to improve workflow and the move toward cloud RIS solutions are proving to be advantageous.
One of the reasons for the popularity of cloud RIS solutions is that they can do multiple things through one platform and with one interface. For example, radiologists, clerks, technicians and IT personnel – anyone who needs access to the system – can use the same interface and work with the information they need to carry out their tasks.
There is also flexibility found in cloud RIS solutions. If employees have different workflow preferences, they can augment the dashboard to fit their needs. Users can customize it to have as many or as few options as needed.
Improved Practice Management
Business operations can be scaled with the right cloud RIS solution. If your facility has satellite locations, you can even geographically optimize your workflows without losing speed, security or connectivity to your hub/platform.
The geographical feature is of great importance today as more and more imaging centers and other types of radiology facilities have embraced remote work opportunities brought on by the pandemic and continuing to be a viable alternative.
Paperless Patient Records
The process of managing paper records has long plagued the healthcare industry, and finally, radiologists and support staff can go completely digital with a cloud RIS solution.
All medical records can be processed with the RIS, sorted and sent to wherever they need to go without ever being printed. This not only improves communication between office colleagues, but also improves patient care.
Part of this communication improvement also leads to improved scheduling. Radiology departments can’t succeed without a well-oiled appointment process. With cloud RIS, you can customize your scheduling and registration process, honing it to the point that is suitable for everyone involved. There are also tools that ease the process, such as pre-configured payment processing tools native to the platform, which means you don’t have to jump into a disparate program to get that information.
