SCHEDULING & PROTOCOLING SOFTWARE

This contract will provide the RHJVAMC Radiology department with protocoling and scheduling software to streamline and improve efficiency of completing orders, so that documented results are easily accessible by Radiology staff from multiple locations. Currently, orders are being printed manually, then hand carried to the particular modality for protocoling, then hand carried again to an MSA for scheduling. The present system heavily relies on a functioning printer and is at a high risk for human error, which eventually leads to delayed or incomplete orders. A robust protocoling and scheduling software must be implemented in order to reduce patient wait times, decrease errors, enable tracking, and optimize clinical communication.
