Increasing patient throughput with an optimized layout

Red Cross Hospital, Beverwjik, Netherlands

Value Contribution

-5 min less MRI occupancy time

For each patient by using two dockable tables

MAGNETOM Sola

Supports advanced and faster clinical scanning

+ 65 additional patients per week

By using two dockable tables and the MAGNETOM Sola***

Challenge

Challenges

Optimize workflows

Increase process efficiency by choosing the best layout with the use of a Digital Twin for workflow simulations

Improve patient experience

Reduce rising waiting times, and optimize the overall diagnostic experience

Increase workforce productivity

Increase patient throughput, avoid scans after opening hours, and reduce staff overtime

Solution

Solution

  • Digital Workflow evaluation based on a Digital Twin to compare and improve MRI processes and layouts
  • Assessment of two scenarios and a stress test:
  • Scenario 1: Given technology*| 1 dockable patient table | 1 preparation room | 2 changing rooms 
  • Scenario 2: Given technology* | 2 dockable patient tables | 2 preparation rooms incl. 2 changing rooms
  • Stress test**: MAGNETOM Sola with faster scan times for both scenarios
  • Identification of optimal MRI process to improve workflow, increase throughput, and enhance patient experience

The results and statements by customers of Siemens Healthineers described herein were achieved in the customer's unique setting. Since there is no "typical" hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption), there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.

*Scenarios were evaluated based on the current systems scan times.

**Stress test: Average times used, calculated as an average of all process step times and scan times from the different exam types.
