We developed an analytics tool to quantitatively assess the utilization of clinical MRI exams. By tracking overall exam efficiency and variability, we assessed sources of inefficiency and variability that contribute to lengthy exam slots.
Table 1: MR enterography protocol before and after intervention
Table 2: The intervention led to an overall decrease in exam length and standard deviation, with a resulting increase in efficiency.
