Protocol challenges

  • Environment
    Previously, protocol teams needed to manually update each device using a USB drive, resulting in inconsistency, patient risks, and costly inefficiencies.

  • Regulations
    Complying with the wide range of industry, state, and federal accreditations can be highly burdensome without a convenient tool for establishing consistency and traceability across the enterprise.

  • Economics
    With budgets always under strain, managing and updating protocols can become a significant financial stressor. In fact, the average cost for optimizing 30 CT protocols is $42,000.1

  • Patient outcomes
    Using out-of-date protocols can result in incorrect diagnoses, repeat visits, delays in care, and a suboptimal patient experience.
