Utilization Reports
Utilization Management (UM) helps you reap the full value of your Siemens medical systems. By delivering regular, recurring, comprehensive usage reports, UM empowers you to analyze and enhance departmental productivity. Evaluate critical usage data such as average exam time per patient and body region, mean time between patient exams, average study prep time, and more. You can even produce anonymous benchmark comparisons with similar institutions or other departments to see how well you are performing.

The Utilization Management tool provides statistics on specific CT or MRI system use.
| Sample Utilization Calculation: |
| Utilization (min.) = (average scan time + average turn over time) x number of patient exams: Utilization in minutes = (56.2 + 41.3) x 171 = 16,673 minutes Total number of minutes available by month = 12 hours/day x 31 days x 60 min/hour = 22,320 Scanner Utilization = Used minutes/available minutes: 16,673 / 22,320 = .75 or 75% |
Basic Reports
Customers with “Basic” reporting capabilities can access monthly reports showing the number of working days and hours, number of patients and patient exams as well as the average study duration, mean time between patient exams, average number of series per study, average number of images per series and total number of images.
Advanced Reports
This provides the Basic Report information as well as information which allows you to compare your data to a benchmark; i.e. the database’s best performer.
