Features & Benefits
Mobile Workflow
Improve patient experience with trendsetting workflows
Patient expectations are increasing, and patients are becoming more vocal about their healthcare experience. The Mobile Workflow, our Companions, and other smart tools of SOMATOM go.Top support you in your work and let you stay with your patients.
Experience our Mobile Workflow
In a standard CT imaging work environment, users spend most of their time in the control room. With our unique Mobile Workflow, you can stay close to your patients and put them at ease. See for yourself!
The heat map shows where users are during a standard workflow and with our Mobile Workflow (red = very long time, yellow = long time, green = some time, blue = little time).
Listen to your peers
“The Mobile Workflow: More than ever, the patient is in the center of the whole examination” says Carla Susana Ribeiro Pinto, CT radiographer at the Centro Hospitalar de São João, Porto, Portugal.
Our Mobile Workflow – figures tell the story
Our Mobile Workflow had a positive impact on the CT scan procedure at the University Hospital Erlangen, Germany, as well as on the satisfaction of their patients.
Helps speed up patient preparation time by 20%.2
Increases the time users spend in the same room with a patient by 90%.2
Increases the positive patient experience by 62%.2
Increases the number of patients who feel more satisfied by 39%.2
myExam Companion guides you through any CT scan
By asking the right question at the right time, myExam Companion guides users of all experience levels through routine examinations as well as more complex procedures. Because the answers are linked to predefined scan parameters, this also helps increase standardization. Explore the patient pathways available with SOMATOM go.Top.
