NEWS BRIEF
GE HealthCare’s Imaging 360 for Operations 2.0, a digital ecosystem of smart, connected solutions, helps facilitate department workflows, ease staff burden, and improve patient access
Today’s Challenges
Radiology departments face challenges in a new era of healthcare:
- o Nearly two-thirds (61%) of radiologists suffer from burnout, up from 36% in 2013 to 49% in 2017.1
- o 42% of all clinicians are actively considering leaving the healthcare industry.2
- o In a survey across clinicians in all fields, 49% of them reported that they do not experience seamless integration of medical technologies in their facilities 2
Imaging 360 for Operations 2.0 offers operational analytics, remote scan assistance, protocol management, dose management, and scheduling, in one, integrated ecosystem. As healthcare systems work to improve the interoperability of disparate radiology applications, Imaging 360 for Operations 2.0 offers the ability to integrate solutions to optimize workflow efficiencies. This in turn can help healthcare systems realize shorter wait times for patients, and reduce staff burden.5,6,7,8
For example, Alliance Medical in the United Kingdom reduced patient backlog, adding 45 additional exams per month without increasing staff burden by analyzing data and adapting scan times.8,9Alliance Medical announced a collaborative agreement with GE HealthCare to improve patient access and productivity in May 2022, and implemented Imaging 360 for Operations in 2022.10
