Case Study: Medical University of South Carolina improves PET-CT efficiency with Siemens Healthineers ActExcell

Medical University of South Carolina cuts PET-CT wait times by 40% with Siemens Healthineers

The Medical University of South Carolina, a comprehensive academic medical center, faced challenges in streamlining its PET-CT scanning operations. With growing demand and the impact of COVID-19, they needed to reduce patient wait times and improve efficiency. To address this, they partnered with vendor Siemens Healthineers to implement the ActExcell service.

By implementing Siemens Healthineers' ActExcell solution, the customer streamlined workflows and increased operational transparency. This resulted in a median exam duration reduction from 155 to 40 minutes and an increase in daily exam capacity from 10 to 15. The median patient wait time for appointments was reduced from 35 days to 21 days, allowing the facility to perform an additional 5,000 scans.
