Turn Workflow Optimization into Imaging Capacity
As imaging volumes rise, inefficient workflows constrain capacity. Workflow optimization – powered by the right level of automation – can remove bottlenecks, improve consistency and support growing demand to avoid added operational burden.
Workflow Optimization Helps Close Operational Gaps
The Operational Gap Is Growing.
3D study volumes are rising, and the need for advanced processing of images is becoming more frequent and relied upon across specialties. Post-processing, analysis, review, and standardization requires growing amounts of time and expertise. The question becomes how to increase capacity while controlling costs.
Most organizations already have the technology and talent. The challenge is creating the operational capacity to absorb growth and expanding patient care needs—without continually adding cost and resources.
Workflow variation, manual effort, and expertise that is difficult to scale are common capacity constraints. As volumes grow, their impact compounds.
The key to closing the gap is through workflow optimization, automation, and standardization.
Time on Study
Every minute saved per study creates capacity that scales across thousands of cases.
Standardized Workflows
Consistent execution across sites will ideally reduce variability, training burden, and rework—across every user, every shift.
Where Capacity Is Being Lost
Capacity is constrained by multiple variables and is often eroded gradually. Manual effort, inconsistent use of functionality, inconsistent workflows, fragmented systems, and inability to scale expertise all negatively impact team capacity.
- Routine steps consuming expert time
- Throughput limited by manual effort
- Hard to replicate across sites
- Inconsistent protocols across sites
- Outputs vary between users
- Rework and corrections accumulate
- Limited skilled resource dependency can hinder workflow efficiency
- Onboarding is slow and inconsistent
- Cross-site replication is difficult
Automation handles repetitive steps so expert staff focus on work that requires their skills.
Consistent protocols across users and sites reduce variability, rework, and training time.
Repeatable processes allow knowledge to spread across teams—not stay locked with a few individuals.
Governance and performance tracking create a foundation for continuous, data-driven improvement.
The Role of Automation
Match the Level of Automation to the Workflow.
Automation is not one setting that has the same positive impact in all situations. It is a spectrum of capabilities applied selectively based on workflow needs, volume, and clinical requirements.
Vitrea supports three levels of automation
- Automated: Executes without user initiation
- Semi-Automated: Reduces steps, maintains user oversight
- Interactive: Full user control for complex cases
The goal is the right level of automation for the workflow—reducing unnecessary manual effort while maintaining appropriate user oversight.
