LAUREL BRIDGE Orchestrating Medical Imaging Workflow Solutions Overview
Realize the Value of Enterprise Imaging! Medical imaging workflows are increasingly complex and are creating demands that may strain an organization s IT system capabilities. This can be particularly acute when workflows must unify physically and technically disparate business entities employing multiple clinical imaging and archive systems. Our enterprise workflow solutions synchronize delivery of vital imaging studies to the clinical staff that needs them, wherever they reside. We automate the processes that enable the increasingly distributed healthcare organization to: Integrate systems and facilities Improve productivity Increase organizational efficiency Enhance clinical quality and patient care Expand clinical services and patient referrals The right studies are delivered to the right clinicians in the right way at the right time! Rewrite the value of imaging to the enterprise, while untethering IT and clinical support personnel from the constraints of inefficient, manual processes!

Enterprise Imaging Workflow Challenges? Ingestion and delivery of current and prior studies among organizations, facilities or clinical IT systems Distributed sub-specialty reading Universal worklist or VNA implementation Automated prior exam delivery Unified workflow across multiple scheduling organizations Laurel Bridge Can Help! Eliminate manual intervention by automating study movement Maximize productivity by delivering studies to clinicians regardless of schedule or location Free up IT resources by implementing reliable, autonomous solutions Expand medical imaging services and workflows The knowledge that access to medical images improves clinical quality drives our efforts to enable their availability where and when needed in today s increasingly distributed healthcare organizations.
Common Enterprise Imaging Workflow Scenarios Standardize Study Identification and Distribution Ensure critical patient information such as patient ID, patient demographics, originating location, exam type, and study description is normalized to enable seamless ingestion and workflow efficiency. Image Access Across Departments or IT Systems Enable radiologists to read all studies from any imaging sources, on the PACS they are familiar with, by ensuring current and relevant prior studies are available when needed, regardless of where they reside. Reliable Delivery of Studies to External Radiologists Provide timely delivery of new studies and relevant prior exams to the appropriate locations, teleradiologists, or, subspecialty physicians where ever the studies reside. Meet service level agreements regardless of scheduling complexity and clinical reporting needs. Remote Ingestion and Delivery Efficiently offload mobile and remote location acquisition devices and ensure secure, reliable delivery of medical images to a VNA, departmental archive or reading workstation. Modality Sharing Across Multiple Scheduling Entities Simplify sharing of imaging resources among organizations using different patient scheduling systems and ensure new studies are automatically delivered to the appropriate reading locations.
