A Day at Elizabeth Wende Breast Care, LLC: Work and Patient Flow

In our outpatient Breast Center, we have spent years establishing a workflow pattern that is efficient for our facility. In the following pages, we will describe the unique and effective workflow designed to meet our patients' needs. We have developed a Radiology Information System (RIS), which includes patient scheduling, film requests, patient tracking, pathology results, and patient health history. We average 250 screening patients a day, with an additional 50-100 diagnostic patients. We are now 100% digital, using a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and a homegrown RIS. Daily we strive to maintain the highest professional standards while providing the patient with excellent service. With an efficient behind-the-scenes workflow, the patient experiences seamless professional interaction in an environment that serves her needs and addresses her concerns.
