Description
Enterprise Imaging Capabilities
- By managing long lead-time orders, Waypoint enables women’s imaging facilities to improve clinical quality and staff productivity by ensuring relevant prior studies are available to the radiologist, even when exams are scheduled 12-24 months in advance.
- Automatically and accurately associates images acquired at the point-of-care (POC) with the patient’s record by adding the demographic information from the scheduled encounter found in Waypoint.
- Consolidates multiple existing modality worklists (MWL) and HL7 exam order feeds from any number of Hospital/Radiology Information Systems (HIS/RIS/PACS) across a merged health system, into a single enterprise modality worklist.
- Helps to maintain the integrity of the PACS database by providing correct, order-based demographic data to acquisition devices.
