Case Study: Saskatchewan Health Authority boosts MRI capacity with Siemens Healthineers consulting

Saskatchewan Health Authority adds 1,500 MRI exams per year with Siemens Healthineers

The Saskatchewan Health Authority, the largest healthcare provider in its Canadian region, faced growing patient wait times for MRI exams across its three hospitals due to increased demand. To address this challenge, they partnered with Siemens Healthineers, specifically engaging the Siemens Healthineers Consulting team to review and optimize their MRI workflows.

By implementing process streamlining recommendations from Siemens Healthineers, the Saskatchewan Health Authority shortened non-contrast exam slots and introduced new utilization management reports. This solution increased staff productivity and technology use, allowing for an additional 1,500 MRI exams annually and significantly reducing patient wait times.
