Tracking & Communication

Workflow Management = Department Efficiency.

Delayed case start times and excessive staff overtime are just a few examples of inefficient workflows’ impact on the IR department. HI-IQ’s intuitive software provides an incredible tool to help improve communications, reduce delays, identify bottlenecks and improve overall workflow efficiency. Instantly view a patient’s progress from the time they enter the department through their time in recovery while measuring the utilization of rooms and resources.

HI-IQ utilizes key Insights to analyze workflow management:

Patient Progress:

By using RealTime updates, a patient’s progress is immediately communicated via color changes to all HI-IQ users, allowing for optimized scheduling of patients and resources.

Scheduling:

“Drag and drop” technology allows for last-minute changes to a patient procedure, enabling the department to make more efficient use of room time and resources.

Turnaround Time:

Calculate “room empty” time, turnaround time, and overall room utilization by tracking patient events throughout their procedure and help justify the need for additional resources.

Communicate Patient Status:

With patient status and procedure progress updates happening in real-time, phone calls are virtually eliminated, enhancing the efficiency of workflows within the department.

Procedure and Delay Times:

Estimate average times for each procedure based on documented patient events and analyze departmental delays, eliminating bottlenecks and resulting in more efficient use of time in each room.

Room Utilization:

HI-IQ provides comprehensive data on room utilization by tracking events as they happen. Concrete statistics will help you predict case volume, schedule resources, create growth plans and substantiate additional resources.
