Resource management simulator for radiology departments.
We propose a new system to manage modalities in radiology departments. Our system introduces a novel method to accurately estimate some indexes in order to provide an analysis of resource plans within three broad categories: financial affairs, patient satisfaction, and productivity. The main idea is to simulate the operational status of modalities. Results from a preliminary hospital evaluation show that use of the system results in more efficient resource management.
