Advanced Radiology & Diagnostic Imaging
The Radiology Management module in DOCare is designed to streamline all diagnostic imaging workflows within a hospital. It enables efficient scheduling and tracking of radiology tests such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI, ultrasound, and mammography, ensuring timely patient care. Radiologists can manage imaging requests, approve reports, and integrate findings directly into patient records. The module also provides real-time equipment utilization monitoring, test prioritization for emergencies, and automatic alerts for delayed or critical studies. Integration with billing and insurance systems ensures accurate charges and reimbursements. DOCare’s Radiology Management module enhances operational efficiency, reduces patient wait times, and supports seamless communication between radiology, physicians, and other clinical departments.
Radiology Orders Overview
DOCare provides real-time visibility into all radiology orders, allowing staff to monitor pending, in-progress, and completed tests. Department-wise and modality-wise (X-Ray, CT, MRI, Ultrasound) statistics enable better workload planning. Emergency cases are prioritized automatically, ensuring critical patients receive timely imaging. Auto-updated patient queues with timestamps help staff track the flow of requests efficiently.
- Real-time count of pending, in-progress, and completed radiology tests
- Department-wise or modality-wise (X-Ray, CT, MRI, Ultrasound) order stats
- Emergency vs OPD/IPD scan prioritization
- Auto-updated patient test queues with time stamps
Test Scheduling & Slot Management
Technologists and radiologists can view daily schedules with available time slots and manage patient appointments seamlessly. Machine-wise and staff-wise workload distribution ensures optimal utilization of resources. Alerts for appointment delays, no-shows, and cancellations help maintain smooth operations. Rescheduling and cancellation tracking allow for real-time adjustments without disrupting workflow.
- View daily test schedules with available time slots
- Technologist-wise or machine-wise workload distribution
- Appointment delays and no-show alerts
- Reschedule and cancellation tracking
Image & Report Management
Upload and access images for each scan/test, including multi-image support and DICOM/PDF formats. Radiologists can track report interpretation progress and approve findings directly in the system. Case summaries and progress bars provide quick insights into ongoing tasks. DOCare allows direct access to image previews, enabling faster clinical decision-making.
- Upload status for each scan/test with multi-image support
- Status of doctor’s interpretation and report approval
- Radiologist-assigned case summary and progress bar
- Direct access to image previews and findings (DICOM/PDF)
Turnaround Time Analytics
Monitor average time from test order to completion and report generation to identify bottlenecks. Delayed cases are automatically highlighted, and overdue reports are flagged for immediate action. Emergency cases can be fast-tracked for rapid turnaround. Radiologist-wise efficiency reports help optimize staffing and productivity.
- Average time from test order to completion and reporting
- Delayed cases and aging reports (auto-highlight overdue reports)
- Fast-track emergency case tracking
- Radiologist-wise reporting efficiency
Billing & Integration Status
Track test-wise billing status including billed, pending, and panel-covered cases. Radiology orders are fully integrated with patient EMR and billing modules for seamless charge processing. Package-based diagnostics coverage is summarized to manage patient packages efficiently. Alerts for insurance or panel authorization ensure compliance and reduce billing delays.
- Test-wise billing status: billed, pending, panel-covered
- Radiology order linkage with patient EMR and billing modules
- Package-based diagnostics coverage summary
- Insurance/panel authorization alerts
Doctor & Patient Communication
Referring doctors receive real-time notifications of pending or completed reports. Patients can access their reports online via email, SMS, or the DOCare mobile app. The module also supports tracking re-reports or addendums for enhanced patient care and record accuracy.
- Pending report notification status for referring doctors
- Online delivery status of reports to patients (email/SMS/app)
- Re-reporting or addendum tracking requests
Compliance & Audit Logs
All image views and report downloads are logged for security and audit purposes. Unauthorized modifications trigger alerts to maintain data integrity. CNIC/panel compliance is tracked for each diagnostic test. User role-based access ensures that only authorized personnel can view or edit reports and images.
- Access logs for image view/download actions
- Unauthorized image/report modification alerts
- CNIC/panel compliance logs for diagnostic tests
- User role-based image/report access control
