Introduction to Workflow Orchestration:
Workflow orchestration is crucial for large radiology groups to distribute workflow effectively and fairly across the organization. This approach involves end-to-end management of people, digital workers, systems, and data in a process. Also, when you are a radiology group working globally across different time zones with multiple sites, it becomes a basic requisite to comply with service level agreements (SLAs). In addition, It is imperative that the technology adopted is also integrated at every touchpoint to ensure seamless implementation.To overcome day to day SLA challenges and optimize existing workflows for better outcome, large and distributed radiology organizations rely on effective workflow orchestration to engage multiple radiologists, from different sub-specialties, at a range of locations, reading for many different facilities. By doing so, they can streamline their workflow management and ensure efficient utilization of resources.Workflow orchestration plays a big role in how an organization automates processes, integrates enterprise systems, and gains better control and visibility over complex workflows.
When can Workflow Orchestration have a downfall?
Some of the scenarios are:
- When orchestration is integrated into the system without having a complete and detailed analysis of your existing workflow
- Procuring orchestration tools and adding them onto the process when they do not actually "fit-in" there which leads to nil value output
- Just having the non-clinical team run the implementation process without clinical champions who buy-in or believe in this concept
- Not understanding what to monitor or what output to expect
- Not understanding the various technology bit which goes into integration
