Today, as radiology departments face challenges in a new era of
healthcare, GE Healthcare imaging solutions are designed to support
clinicians in meeting competing demands for their time and enable
greater focus on patient care. Imaging experts are in short supply
and high demand while, at the same time, imaging is moving beyond
hospital campuses. By 2033, the U.S. alone could fall short by
almost 42,000 of the needed radiologists and other specialist
physicians 3 and burnout amongst healthcare professionals is a
growing issue. Nearly two-thirds (61%) of radiologists suffer from
burnout, up from 36% in 2013 to 49% in 2017. 4
Imaging solutions integrated with artificial intelligence (AI),
are aimed at supporting radiologists in meeting these challenges
head on, by helping automate complex workload distribution,
minimizing workflow steps, optimizing the workforce, and providing
improved image quality to reduce scan time.
“Radiologists are eager for the latest tools to keep up with an
ever-increasing case load. GE Healthcare is focused delivering on
technologies that not only help improve workflow efficiency and
reduce burnout for our customers, but also provide better patient
care. Our customers consistently ask for ‘fewer clicks’ and for
actionable insights, and we design our solutions to meet those
needs,” said Jan Makela, President and CEO of Imaging at GE
Healthcare.
GE Healthcare’s Intelligent workload management solution is an
option for its Picture Archive and Communications System (PACS)
solutions, provided by the integration with Helix Radiology
Performance Suite, developed by Quantum Imaging & Therapeutic
Associates. The innovative intelligent workload management
solution, which leverages time-based predictive analytics, can help
to optimize the radiologist workforce across an entire enterprise.
It’s designed to accurately and efficiently predict and distribute
workload to the best active radiologist in real-time to enable
improved productivity and help to reduce burnout. The solution
adapts to the constant fluctuations in imaging volume and
radiologist demand to ensure optimal service level performance.
Based on impact analysis at Quantum, it enabled a 16.7% improvement
in STAT turnaround time (TAT) (18 min to 15 min), 20.5% improvement
in ED TAT (32.2. min to 25.6 min) and a 27.7% improvement in
inpatient TAT (132.91 min to 96.04 min). 5 These TAT improvements
were coupled with up to 21% improvement in work relative value
units (wRVU) production per radiologist shift, a common measure of
physician productivity often used in determining compensation.
“The current discordance between wRVU credit and the actual work
effort required to interpret and report on a given exam promotes
inefficient behaviors and leads to dissatisfaction for
radiologists,” said Elizabeth Bergey, M.D., President and CEO,
Quantum Imaging & Therapeutic Associates. “We think radiology
is ready for a new paradigm that increases fairness and performance
while simultaneously reducing radiologist stress.”
“Bottom line, I feel like Helix has my back. At the end of the
day, I know myself and my colleagues have put in a fair day’s work
and we’ve made a positive impact,” said Dr. Mike Graybill,
Interventional and Diagnostic Radiologist at Quantum Imaging &
Therapeutic Associates, Inc.
In addition to its PACS solutions, GE Healthcare offers a
variety of technology solutions that enhance speed of the radiology
workflow, including:
- Imaging 360 for Operations, an ecosystem of applications
targeted to specific operational challenges in radiology. Imaging
360 for Operations is designed for core imaging operations
functions—protocoling, staffing, analytics, and scheduling. It
offers operational analytics, remote scan assistance, protocol
management and dose management in one, integrated ecosystem. As
healthcare systems have adopted the individual applications now
integrated into Imaging 360 for Operations, they have realized
shorter wait times for patients, reduced staff burden, and a more
efficient workflow. (6,7,8) For example, an Alliance Medical
operation in the United Kingdom reduced patient backlog, adding 45
additional exams per month without increasing staff burden by
analyzing data and adapting scan times. (8,9,10)
- AIR Recon DL, a pioneering, deep-learning based image
reconstruction algorithm that improves signal to noise ratio (SNR)
and has revolutionized MR imaging, which has benefited nearly 5.5
million patients globally1. By leveraging the raw MR image data,
deep-learning technology provides sharper, clearer MR images that
are faster and easier to read. Up to 50% reduction in scan time
allows for shorter exam times and more patients scanned each
day.
