Konica Minolta to introduce workflow management tool at SIIM 2018

Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas is introducing a new worklist feature, Turn-Around-Time (TAT), for its Exa platform at the SIIM 2018 Annual Meeting May 31-June 2 in National Harbor, Maryland.

TAT was designed to help providers manage exam priorities. Customer feedback was used to craft the new feature in hopes of making it as user-friendly as possible.

“At Konica Minolta Healthcare, one of our top priorities is fulfilling our customer’s needs with the tools they need to be as efficient and productive as possible,” Kevin Borden, vice president of product for healthcare IT at Konica Minolta Healthcare, said in a prepared statement. “We believe efficiency and productivity translate to better patient care, especially in today’s healthcare environment when clinicians and staff are being asked to do more with less. Now with the TAT feature, we’ve taken our status-driven worklist to the next level, helping facilities ensure the most urgent cases are addressed by the most appropriate radiologist.”

Konica Minolta will be displaying at booth #601 at the conference.
