Computer-aided administration of a radiology equipment insurance program.
The Medical College of Georgia's radiology department has developed computer software that helps the department manage its radiology equipment insurance program. By providing clear menus and choice boxes instead of manual typing wherever possible, the software minimizes the time spent on data entry and management functions. In addition, the software helps track vendor invoices and unreimbursed claims, and maintains a service call log. It also provides a bar-coded service ticket for use by in-house engineers. Completed tickets, which are copied and filed, have replaced ledger books. Furthermore, the software helps the department comply with JCAHO requirements, since service tickets link the documentation of quality control problems to their resolution.
