Rising demand for CT scans in Finland and a national shortage of radiographers are main challenges for Helsinki University Hospital (HUS). Improving the efficiency of the entire CT workflow was identified as a key goal. With a new facility currently under construction, HUS is interested in both enhancing its current operations and establishing optimized processes for the future site. Therefore, HUS partnered with Siemens Healthineers to re-imagine their radiology operations in response to these new pressures. The partners identified six action fields where targeted improvements could enhance departmental efficiency and performance. The team proposed targeted changes in these action fields that can potentially increase annual CT throughput by 30% while reducing personnel costs by 40%.
