Carestream introduces Workflow Orchestrator to enhance clinical communication and collaboration
The Workflow Orchestrator is native to Carestream’s Clinical Collaboration Platform. The Orchestrator’s productivity module directs imaging exams first to appropriate clinical subspecialists, and then to all available radiologists as needed to satisfy desired turnaround times. Exams also can be assigned to specific radiologists according to a referring physician’s preference and existing affiliations with hospitals or healthcare facilities. The platform’s workload balancing functionality can optimize reporting times.
The quality module offers comprehensive management reports for peer review, while the communication module enhances collaboration through use of chat capabilities, alerts, and screen sharing for radiologists, technologists, and onsite physicians. Worklists can be categorized by type, and user profiles contain subspecialty, main location, and credentials.
Administrative features allow corrections to exam data as well as the ability to add specialties for radiologists and manage worklists for specialty reading. Carestream’s Vue Motion enterprise viewer enables referring physicians to securely view a patient’s imaging exam on mobile devices and discuss a patient’s condition with radiologists if needed.

Intelerad introduces SmartLayouts
Intelerad Medical Systems announced the release of SmartLayouts, a next-generation layout management system that allows radiologists to easily create their own layout protocols on-the-fly, directly within InteleViewer.
Once a protocol has been created, radiologists simply take a snapshot of their workspace, which adds the protocol to their collection and allows them to be shared with groups and users across the enterprise. SmartLayouts then uses intelligent automation to ensure that all future cases are laid out in a reliable and consistent manner, based on a variety of study attributes and characteristics, as well as each radiologist’s reading preferences.
In addition to increasing their productivity, enabling radiologists to efficiently create their own protocols also reduces the reliance and burden on IT staff, who are often tasked with configuring layout protocols for their organization. Intelerad’s SmartLayouts is now available using InteleViewer 4.15.1.
