Project management

Project tracker spans multiple vendors and modalities for efficient workflow

Standardizing and maintaining protocols across a health system has traditionally been a manual process—impacting uptime, staff productivity, and compliance.

1.3+

Average hours per day spent on protocoling. Each exam could take up to 2 minutes¹

50%

of radiologists get interrupted at least 6x/day to answer protocol-related questions from technologists¹

$50K+

in overall protocoling cost per year—includes assignment, questions, and potential rescans¹

>2%

of scans repeated per month due to incorrect/inaccurate protocol-related issues²

Protocol management

Optimized productivity. Consistent quality.

Easily manage protocols across multiple locations and devices to help drive enterprise-wide efficiencies and deliver the image consistency needed for optimal patient care.
Save time

Achieve next-level productivity

Imaging 360 Protocols helps simplify protocol management across your enterprise to drive consistency, maintain compliance, and contribute to the economic success of your health system.

  • With fewer protocol variations, you can work to minimize rescans
  • Remote management of protocols helps remove system disruptions, helps you avoid unnecessary staff travel, and monitor protocol adoption across the fleet
Quality and uniformity

Work toward consistent care quality across your fleet

Remote protocol management capabilities help you bring quality and add uniformity to protocol selection.

  • Amplify the power of deep learning applications for MR and CT exams by standardizing protocols across patients with the same indication to help you achieve your goal of high image quality and consistency
  • Dose management is also now easier to integrate into your overall patient view
  • Seamlessly manage patient radiation exposure by identifying outliers according to compliance guidelines
Efficient operations

Accomplish more with less effort

Drive efficiency using data-driven insights on protocols and staff performance—optimizing improvement opportunities and creating a comprehensive tracked audit trail.

  • With one click, you can view analytics for the protocol selected without switching between applications.
  • Save time with centralized protocol management for MR and CT with remote editing and distribution across your GE HealthCare imaging fleet.*
  • Access multi-vendor system data in one place for an effortless workflow
  • Leverage cloud-based protocol editing in a familiar interface for ease of use and accuracy.
One holistic view

Why the 360 view matters

Imaging 360 consists of three components: Imaging 360 operations, Imaging 360 protocols, and Imaging 360 remote. Together they enable you to streamline operations, drive consistency, and empower staff for optimized productivity through collaboration and scan assistance.

Imaging 360

Imaging 360 gives you a holistic view of your imaging department so you can optimize performance, inform short- and long-term planning, and drive standardization.

Imaging 360 Operations

The operations component of Imaging 360 gives you comprehensive visibility of your entire fleet so you can use centralized data analytics to obtain actionable insights that help drive better outcomes including machine utilization, throughput, scheduling, and referral volume.

Imaging 360 Remote

The staff empowerment component of Imaging 360 allows you to cultivate a connected staff to help foster high patient satisfaction with access to remote connectivity to drive training, collaboration, and MR remote scan initiation.**
