Abstract

The electronic medical record (EMR) has significantly improved efficiency in many areas of radiology workflow. Following implementation of an electronic protocol selection process for cross-sectional imaging at the University of Colorado Hospital, the interventional radiology (IR) division desired to have a similar tool. Evaluation of the IR workflow demonstrated the need for a multilayered solution, which accounted for consultation, physician review, authorization and scheduling, pre-procedural nursing evaluation, physician rounding, and resource allocation and prioritization. This paper outlines the rationale for and components of this process.
