OrderRight™

Radiology Decision Support

OrderRight™ allows physicians to order the right radiology procedure for their patients the first time, every time. With the added capability to obtain all required pre-authorizations from participating insurance providers, OrderRight provides a greatly improved radiology workflow allowing fast, accurate and timely radiology procedures.

OrderRight links payers, imaging facilities and physicians remotely, in a customizable application with established radiology appropriateness criteria and instructions for studies and procedures. By utilizing a set of the most suitable protocols and enforcing standards, health providers will know that studies ordered and delivered are both necessary and performed in the most efficient manner, thereby ensuring a medical delivery system operating in the most timely and optimal fashion.

OrderRight Diagram

With the American College of Radiology Appropriate Criteria as a base rule set, OrderRight mitigates unnecessary radiology orders and escalating healthcare costs, reducing unnecessary procedures by 10% or more, by:

  • Eliminating the ordering and scheduling of inappropriate procedures before the patients are in the system
  • Eliminating, or greatly reducing, the number of unnecessary study sequences without reducing the quality of care
  • Eliminating the time consuming and error prone paper-based order referral system

The OrderRight Difference

  • OrderRight can be used beyond radiology for any specialty that has established criteria
  • Only OrderRight has the patent-pending Rule Authoring Studio™, which allows immediate rule creation or editing, supporting any clinical or business environment
