Today, radiology administrators must improve workflow and efficiency across multiple hospital locations, while maintaining high privacy and security. Philips PerformanceBridge operational informatics platform is delivering results for health systems, reducing scan times while increasing volume and streamlining operations. Boston Medical Center, which conducts more than 600 studies per week on three MR systems, implemented Philips PerformanceBridge Protocol Manager to optimize and standardize its MR protocols, with the goal of reducing exam times. Analysis of brain and spine exams showed use of Protocol Manager led to a decrease in exam time, increased volume and increased revenue [4].

Results from case studies are not predictive of results in other cases. Results in other cases may vary. [4] Since installing Protocol Manager, MR volume at BMC increased by 3 studies per day, with MR brain studies shortened by 10 minutes, which translates overall to an additional USD 324,000 per year. Increase in volume can also be attributed to a schedule change that resulted in more efficient scheduling of MR patients requiring anesthesia.
