Intelligent Patient Scheduling

Exa RIS makes scheduling easy. Input appointments by patient, calendar or resource (modality, physician, procedure) and view the first available time slot. The color-coded scheduler is designed to alert schedulers of time concerns for insurance verification. The colors help to select more appropriate times for imaging studies based on the specific time required for insurance verification.

Resource scheduling is based on availability of Technologist to perform or Radiologist to interpret specific exams
With Secure Scheduling the RIS software will notify if a resource is double booked and not allow a patient to double book on multiple resources at the same time
Intuitive Patient Registration notifies and suggests a merge when registering duplicate patient fields
Easily reschedule patients without re-entering exam and CPT information
Schedule appointments by region and market, supporting customers with multiple facilities in a state and/or across multiple states with centralized scheduling

Custom Workflow Design Engine

The order of operations for an imaging study varies drastically from business to business. Build your workflow based on your facility needs. Choose from the drag and drop status options to design your preferred imaging workflow. The ability to define the entire process step-by-step allows for the most efficient and productive procedure.

Exa Patient Kiosk

Exa Patient Kiosk is a self-serve, patient-facing solution that allows patients to easily check in for appointments, view and update demographic and insurance information as well as complete and sign electronic forms. This will ease bottlenecks in the front office, increase patient satisfaction and decrease patient wait times due to inefficient registration processes.
