The final product of a diagnostic imaging study is the completed image set on the radiologists’ PACS and radiology information system worklist. Before the case is completed, multiple prior steps are required. The clinical provider must order the imaging study, the radiologist must complete the protocol, the administration must obtain insurance preauthorization, and the schedulers must book the imaging examination. Improving the process of scheduling these examinations has become a priority at our institution.Source
