Consulting

Dashboards typically provide lots of information, and often times can over-rely on the reader to distill meaningful information. Unfortunately, internal indecisiveness is common. In addition, faced with an overwhelming number of indicators, many organizations default to the most commonly cited metrics - volumes, patient satisfaction and turnaround time – which although important, potentially ignores other metrics worthy of inclusion. Others revert to a “laundry list” approach and include any and all metrics, which is counter to the goal of dashboards. Dashboards should focus our efforts and spotlight the most relevant drivers. Plus, most dashboards ignore the financial impact.

ProFusion’s goal is just the opposite. ProFusion identifies and highlights underperformance and makes it crystal clear where to focus limited resources and when/where to take action. From an external viewer, the solutions may appear more obvious than from an internal administrator. Sometimes all we need is a fresh pair of eyes. In these cases, Imaging Fusion’s consulting services are available to our customers.

Collectively, Imaging Fusion consultants offer hundreds of years of experience. All our imaging consultants have held nationally-elected positions in the imaging management association. All our consultants have years of consulting experience, ranging from rural to inner-city to academic to community hospitals. While holding office, our consultants met and worked with thousands of imaging directors who expressed how difficult it has become to keep current and proficient with all the additional competencies expected of an imaging administrator today. The role of imaging administrator has evolved from clinical expert, to operations manager, to technology expert, to business associate. It is the business end of imaging management that challenges most. Our consultant’s expertise lies in operating imaging as a successful, sustainable business.

Relying on ProFusion as a jumpstart, our imaging consultants quickly identify which path should first be walked. From that point, they begin the drill-down process. They start with a high-level look at

• expenses
• revenues
• service
• productivity
• finance
• strategic “futures” planning.

All customary performance indicators are rolled up into ProFusion’s six high-level indicators. Even if your facility is accustomed to collecting one hundred indicators, they will be found and represented in ProFusion’s six. Our consultants will continue to mine the data, layer by layer, and will not stop drilling until the cause(s) is obvious.

Imaging Fusion’s recommended solutions will insure they have not unintentionally omitted or favored any priorities which have not been substantiated and backed by evidence. Our consulting service does not use observation, conjecture or opinion. Our consulting service uses data, metrics and industry standards. The recommended actionable-items will be precise, defined and simple to execute. Our scientific method assures more buy-in from stakeholders. Imaging Fusion consulting provides a balance which helps organizations make the right decisions, even when the decisions are hard to make.
