Business Analytics FUELS RADIOLOGY

摘要

It's tough to solve a problem you don't know you have. Every radiology department is feeling the pressure to reduce costs and improve turn-around time, but how does an administrator pinpoint problem areas that prevent the department from reaching efficiency goals? Business analytics, which leverages data and graphical visualizations to identify workflow issues and drive evidence-based modifications to organizational processes, provide an answer. Tools can be delivered by vendor-created dashboard software or homegrown applications built into IT systems. The goal is informed decision-making based on a global view of performance, rather than anecdotal evidence.
