Impact of optimized and conventional facility designs on outpatient abdominal MRI workflow efficiency
The optimized MRI facility demonstrated superior outpatient workflow efficiency compared to an already efficient reference facility, particularly in table turnover time, resulting in increased patient throughput for abdominal MRI examinations. These findings highlight that even highly efficient MRI facilities can significantly benefit from comprehensive redesign strategies.
