With the power, flexibility and ease-of-use of MedRIS, schedulers will be more productive, spending less time looking for information and more time completing tasks that improve the "health" of the practice.

MedRIS can be programmed with practice specific intelligence to automate important workflow decisions for schedulers and patient care coordinators during the registration process. For instance, automatic window "alerts" can inform schedulers of potential problems regarding specific plan/payer/procedure combinations: displaying messages such as "needs authorization" or "procedure is not covered by this plan".

Automated tools help even novice schedulers increase magnet utilization and HCFA compliance.

The scheduling component is designed with powerful, easy-to-use tools to help large radiology practices effectively manage multiple locations and modalities - whether scheduling is centralized or distributed. MedRIS is flexible enough to accommodate single site practices or multiple locations using multiple modalities.

Multiple book views allow for quick load evaluation.

Flexible and easy-to-use "Appointment Wizards" automate resource searches, allowing non-experts to set appointments effortlessly and even schedule a subsequent sequence of events tied to the specific patient and ordered procedure(s).

Integrated electronic messaging lets schedulers send instant messages (alerts, directions, recommendations, sticky notes, etc.) within MedRIS directly to other departments or physicians in order to automate the exchange of data within the practice or across the enterprise.
