Improving Financial Performance by Modeling and Analysis of Radiology Procedure Scheduling at a Large Community Hospital
The Journal of Medical Systems, 09/15/09

Li J et al. – Radiology tests, such as MRI, CT–scan, X–ray and ultrasound, are cost intensive and insurance pre–approvals are necessary to get reimbursement. In some cases, tests may be denied for payments by insurance companies due to lack of pre–approvals, inaccurate or missing necessary information. Such a model provides a quantitative tool for continuous improvement and process control in radiology outpatient test scheduling process to reduce financial losses associated with process error. This method of analysis is also applicable to other departments in the hospital.
