Diagnostic Imaging Center Automation: a customer question answered and confirmed in a Reflys chat

Where imaging staff
lose hours

  1. Referral-based bookings require checking a physician order before scheduling

  2. Prep questions (fasting, contrast, metal on an MRI) get asked one by one

  3. “Are my results ready?” messages flood in daily

  4. Referral and scan history sits in a RIS or EHR that staff have to check manually before replying

  5. Rescheduling a scan means re-verifying insurance and referral all over again

  6. No-shows for time-sensitive scans (fasting- or contrast-dependent) are costly and hard to backfill on short notice

From Referral to Results-Ready

Diagnostic Imaging Center Automation workflow: inquiry captured, request handled, and details synced by Reflys
  1. Referral Intake Flow

    Captures referring physician and scan type before booking.

  2. Scan-Specific Prep FAQ

    Automatic prep instructions triggered by the scan type requested.

  3. Results-Ready Notification

    An automated status ping — never the result itself — for when it's time to call or log in.

  4. CRM Integration

    Connects to your RIS or EHR via API or webhook, configured directly into your automations — reads referral and scan history and writes booking and status updates back in parallel.

Imaging Center Patient Communication Software: Fewer Calls, Better-Prepared Patients

An unprepared patient costs an outpatient imaging center more than a no-show. A scan that cannot go ahead because someone ate breakfast or arrived without an order wastes the slot and the technologist's time. Imaging center patient communication software fixes this upstream, by collecting the right details at booking and sending the right instructions before the visit.

How it works

  1. Capture the referral first

    Imaging referral intake automation asks for the referring physician and scan type before a time is offered, so schedulers are not chasing a physician order after the appointment is already on the books.

  2. Send prep by scan type

    Automated scan prep instructions go out based on what was booked: fasting instructions, contrast prep or MRI metal screening questions, each matched to the exam.

  3. Notify, never disclose

    Results ready notifications tell the patient to call or log in to the patient portal. The result itself always stays in your secure channel or with a person.

  4. Connect your RIS or EHR

    With RIS integration by API or webhook, Reflys reads referral and scan history and writes booking and status updates back, so nothing is checked twice.

In practice

Imagine a patient booked for an abdominal ultrasound at 8 am. The evening before, she receives the fasting instructions for that exam, replies with a question about her morning medication, and is routed to a staff member who answers it. She arrives prepared and the scan starts on time. Nobody at the front desk had to look up a prep sheet or return a voicemail.

Practical tips

  • Write one prep message per exam type and have your lead technologist approve each. Short numbered steps are followed more reliably than a paragraph.

  • Send prep twice: at booking and again the day before. Fasting and contrast prep reminders matter most in the final 24 hours.

  • Keep a short list of patients who can come in at short notice. When a time-sensitive scan cancels, no-show backfill starts with one message to that list.
