Next-Generation Management Tool for the Radiology Department

The management tool, Sectra Control Tower, was developed by Sectra (Linköping, Sweden), an information technology (IT) and medical-technology company, and it gives department managers full control and overview of current production statistics as well as historic data used for trend analysis.

The tool now also features live reports, with unique capabilities of revealing and analyzing log jams in real time. The live reports provide the department manager with instant overview of such selected performance statistics as current queue lengths, patient waiting times, and resource usage.

"For radiology department managers striving to enhance and streamline production, Sectra Control Tower is an extremely valuable tool. Trends analyses, accurate reports on resource utilization, and live reports facilitate control of the system's performance. It is also an aid in long-term procurement decisions,” commented Staffan Bergström, vice president, marketing, Sectra Imtec AB. "The new version of Sectra Control Tower features a full set of predefined reports and a standardized interface that allows us to customize new predefined reports for specific needs. Since the new version runs in a web browser, it is extremely easy to deploy and can be used anywhere at anytime,” continued Mr. Bergström.

The Control Tower collects data from Sectra's radiologic IT systems. The new version facilitates definition of individual queries creating special reports for certain occasions.
