Key challenges for hospitals and health systems

Customer Services - WeScan - Access to care

Need to provide access to care

is increasingly important in today’s competitive healthcare systems. But if there is a shortage of qualified radiology technologists, a specific exam may not be possible at the required location and time. This puts patient satisfaction as well as revenue streams at risk.
Customer Services - WeScan - Productivity and efficiency of operations

Need to increase productivity and efficiency of operations

is a result of growing economic pressure on healthcare providers. Inflexible working hours and a limited number of qualified experts complicate shift planning. This is especially challenging during extended hours, off-hours, and peak hours and jeopardizes the achievement of the desired level of care and throughput.
Customer Services - WeScan - Knowledgeable and confident staff

Need for knowledgeable and confident staff

as they are the key factor in delivering patient care at a high standard. As highly qualified radiology technologists are scarce, a transfer of knowledge to expand the skill level and confidence of other technologists is often impossible. This can impact clinical outcomes and prevents standardization.

How can we help you address these challenges?

Increase revenue growth and patient satisfaction by improving availability of care

WeScan Remote Scanning enables you to run your diagnostic routine at full scale – even if you have a shortage of qualified MRI technologists. As a result, patients have more convenient access to a scanner site close by and experience shorter waiting times.

Increase productivity by enhancing flexibility

WeScan Remote Scanning provides flexible access to the expert knowledge of our remote MRI technologists, especially during extended hours, off-hours, and peak hours, which are usually difficult to staff. This enables you to achieve continuous productivity and higher flexibility in patient care – regardless of your individual staffing situation.
