Specialty

Nuclear Medicine and PET-CT

A nuclear medicine department runs on a radiopharmaceutical that is decaying while it travels, a camera an entire region queues for, and a licence that has to be evidenced on demand. Miss the delivery window and the day is gone with it.

A scanner and its couch in a shielded examination room.
The machine is the department. Everything else in it is a queue against the machine.

Impact and action

The dose.

  • Dose ordering, delivery and the patient list are held in three books that agree only when somebody reconciles them.Scheduling runs as due tasks against real times, so the arrival of the dose and the arrival of the patient are the same schedule.Quest

The study.

  • The study is acquired on the camera and read on a workstation, and the referring clinician sees a printed report days later.The order becomes the acquisition, the completed study returns over a managed connection, and it opens in the record beside the order that asked for it.ForgeWestron

The licence.

  • Calibration, survey and disposal records are kept in files that are located in a hurry before an inspection.Equipment maintenance schedules, risk registers and training records stand as they are produced, alongside the incidents and the committees that reviewed them.Vigil

The bill.

  • A high value study is billed against a scheme package, a corporate credit book or cash, each on its own sheet.One study produces all of them, on one tariff engine, with a tamper-proof trail behind every transaction.Vault

One study

What the platform is holding from the referral to the report.

  1. The order is placed

    Once, from a catalogue the hospital owns, locked to what was ordered.

  2. The dose is scheduled

    Against the delivery window and against the camera, as one schedule.

  3. The study is acquired

    The order carries its own state from placement to completion.

  4. The study returns

    Over the managed connection, back to the order that asked for it.

  5. The report is read

    In the record, beside the note that ordered the study.

The machine as an object

A camera a region shares should be legible as a resource.

It exists in the twin.

Nexus maintains a digital twin of the hospital, including its physical assets and which of them is in use right now, so the camera has a schedule and a maintenance record rather than a diary at the desk.

And its utilisation is readable.

Falcon reads from every tool without owning or altering any of it, and names the source of every figure, so a question about last month resolves to the records that answer it.
