Challenges in imaging protocol management

Landscape
  • Lack of visibility & change management process leads to inconsistent protocols
  • Variability in dose and exam quality can pose risks to patient safety & outcomes
  • Workflow inefficiencies of modifying protocols per exam and repeat exams result in potential revenue losses
  • Consolidation of healthcare systems increases the need for a solution
  • Increasing quantity of protocols can be costly to manage without tools

Automatically upload, download, edit, monitor and distribute protocols for your GE CT and MR devices.

  • Accurate

    High-quality LED components match the calibration curves in the device and are designed to account for variations in measurement technologies.

  • Durable

    Connector design and cable materials are resistant to fraying and kinking while both cables and sensors are drip-proof and able to withstand frequent disinfections.

  • Single-patient use

    TruSignal SPO2 sensors support infection control workflows while delivering accurate readings that help clinicians make appropriate and confident care decisions.

A simple and efficient process

IPM--a-simple-and-efficient-process

  • 1. Import

    Import protocols to a cloud library from CT and MR devices

  • 2. Publish

    View protocols and publish them as “Standard Protocol” for the fleet of same devices.

  • 3. Send

    Distribute protocols to scanners throughout the hospital network.

  • 4. Verify

    Review positioning guidelines, contrast delivery and technologist instructions.

  • 5. Track

    Monitor protocol deviation between the device and standard protocols on the cloud.

Help achieve economic benefits with improved protocol management
