LHMC Radiology Team and Colleagues Report on Model Algorithm to Optimize MRI Scheduling

Posted March 24th, 2021 for Lahey Clinic Posted on Collaboration with Engineers Yields Reduced Patient Wait-Times and Increased Efficiency Burlington, MA – The first known study exploring optimal outpatient exam scheduling through a model algorithm was shown to yield shorter wait times for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for patients and reduced costs. A collaboration including clinical and operational experts at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center and Philips along with engineers at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College worked to identify sources of delays for MRI procedures at LHMC in order to develop a mathematical model to optimize scheduling. The study, which appears in

New algorithm reduces patient wait times, minimizes costs associated with exam delays

New algorithm reduces patient wait times, minimizes costs associated with exam delays The first known study to explore optimal outpatient exam scheduling given the flexibility of inpatient exams has resulted in shorter wait times for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patients at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center in Burlington, Mass. A team of researchers from Dartmouth Engineering and Philips worked to identify sources of delays for MRI procedures at Lahey Hospital in order to optimize scheduling and reduce overall costs for the hospital by 23 percent. The Dartmouth-led study, Stochastic programming for outpatient scheduling with flexible inpatient exam accommodation, was sponsored by Philips and recently published by
