MagView
delivers a complete mammography information managment solution for improved
workflow and communication.
When Blessing Hospital decided to create a
state-of-the-art breast center in the Illinois city of Quincy, they wanted
to offer the best equipment, facilities and staff for their patients.
"We had been known as a community hospital," says Breast Center
Manager Lori Wilkey. "Now because of the procedures we offer and
the great follow-up we do, other facilities rely on us to meet all their
patients' needs. We are very patient focused".
In addition to screening and diagnostic mammograms, Blessing Breast Center
offers MRI breast biopsies and was one of the first digital mammography
sites in Illinois.
When evaluating the existing mammography software at the hospital, it
was clear it would not fit the needs of a busy breast center. "The
system we had before MagView used an Access database which was very difficult
to use and time consuming," Wilkey said.
Once MagView was implemented, they found that not only were the existing
problems solved, but they could take patient care to the next level. "We
can get results out the same day it is read," says Senior Secretary
Laurie Laaker. "The radiologists don't have to worry about delayed
dictation and they simply create the report and it is done," adds
Laaker.
Blessing Breast Center also had some custom requests specific to their
center and were pleased to see that MagView could accommodate them. "Our
technologists use tablet PCs and all the orders and outside reports are
scanned in so we can import and review anything we need," says Wilkey.
"We also implemented an interface between Hologic and Magview where
the barcode is tied to MagView. It eliminates the worry about viewing
one patient and reporting on another".
With so many new technologies to learn, Wilkey enjoyed the simple implementation
and the post-implementation support, "It is so nice to have a product
go live smoothly and I am really happy that when I need anything from
support to customization, I can get help right away with just one call".
