Here are a just a few examples of the smart things your worklist should do:

• Send a reminder to do your peer reviews when the system realizes it is a slow day
• Automatically give you work unit or RVU credit for performing approved non-reading tasks
• Texts the on-call radiologist when the practice gets busy
• Assigns exams in a load balanced way
• Moves exams up or down the queue based upon service level agreement
• Computes work units based upon the actual amount of time it takes your Radiologists to dictate specific procedure codes
• Shows you productivity metrics by shift as well as radiologist
• Shows you quality metrics by shift as well as radiologist
• Shows you exactly the exams you should be reading.  Nothing more and nothing less, sorted the right way.

A smart worklist makes your business smarter and your radiologists happier. Don’t make the mistake of not investing in your radiology group. It can be transformative.
