Medical professionals in Moscow now have access to an advanced online service for tracking the utilization of diagnostic equipment. Developed by experts at the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine, this tool will be available to all outpatient departments. It facilitates the analysis of medical equipment usage dynamics, assesses operational efficiency, and enables more effective redistribution of workloads. This announcement was made by Yuri Vasilev, Senior Consultant in Radiology and CEO of the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine under the Moscow Healthcare Department.

 "The recent years have witnessed transformative advancements in the digitalization of healthcare in Moscow. We continue to expand our portfolio of digital services. Our team at the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine has created an information dashboard that enables the analysis and monitoring of diagnostic equipment utilization. This dashboard integrates data from all digital diagnostic equipment linked to the EMIAS Unified Radiology Information Service, which is accessible to 155 medical organizations in the Moscow Healthcare Department. Now, specialists in outpatient departments can independently access real-time data on the utilization of both their own devices and those in other medical centers, facilitating improved planning, load redistribution, patient flow management, and informed decision-making. This initiative enhances the accessibility of radiological diagnostics," stated Yuri Vasilev.

 The service includes customizable filtering options by medical organization, imaging studies type, district, and device type. Data is processed across more than 20 parameters, including equipment utilization percentage, number of studies, shift details, as well as information regarding the medical organization and specific devices. Users can also view utilization data in tabular format for specified periods, with updates being made regularly. To ensure optimal service operation, a feedback for users has been integrated.

 The new tracking service was developed by the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine under the Moscow Healthcare Department. Radiologist here currently interpret over 100,000 imaging studies weekly, with a reported 11% increase in studies conducted in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period last year. In response to this growing volume, various analytical dashboards are being developed, with approximately 75 already in place.

It specializes in interpretation imaging studies, coordinates radiology departments management, and enhances the quality of diagnostic studies through standardization efforts. Furthermore, the Center plays a vital role in disseminating best medical practices and implementing innovative technologies across healthcare facilities, not only in Moscow but throughout Russia.
