Waypoint™

Encounter & Modality Worklist Manager

Waypoint consolidates and centrally manages multiple, existing modality worklists and HL7 exam order feeds from any number of Hospital and Radiology Information Systems into a single enterprise modality worklist. As a result, Waypoint can automate the assignment of patient demographics for a number of medical imaging workflows, such as point-of-care (POC) ultrasound.

Waypoint enhances the capabilities of our existing enterprise image routing and relevant prior exam fetching workflow solutions within our Enterprise Imaging Workflow Suite. It provides patient demographic information on demand to modalities and other imaging applications, eliminating manual order data entry and thereby enhancing clinical data integrity.

Enterprise Workflow Benefits

• Waypoint enables women’s imaging facilities to improve clinical quality and staff productivity by ensuring relevant prior studies are available to the radiologist prior to patient arrival, even when exams are scheduled 12-24 months in advance.
• Waypoint ensures images acquired at the point-of-care are automatically and accurately associated with the correct patient record by applying the demographic information from the scheduled encounter found in Waypoint.
• Waypoint helps maintain the integrity of the PACS database by providing correct, order-based demographic data to acquisition devices.
