Urology Coordination
CT urogram, renal ultrasound and prostate MRI questions land on the front desk. Sequence imaging, prep and outside records so the visit is worth taking.
A hematuria workup visit without the upper tract imaging, or a prostate consultation without the MRI report, becomes a conversation about scheduling. The imaging was ordered, it simply was not sequenced. That is a phone problem long before it is a clinical one.
Nobody discovers that a man emptied his bladder before an ultrasound until the tech tries to measure a residual. Instructions read back correctly on the booking call, in your own wording, are the cheapest possible fix for a repeat study.
Most urology imaging happens somewhere else, which means a request, a release form and a follow-up. Capturing the facility, date and study at the first call turns a vague promise into an item with an owner that can be chased before the appointment.
Patients ring the urologist about the scan the urologist ordered, regardless of who is performing it. Those calls are answered immediately and either resolved from your instructions or routed with the study, date and facility already captured.

Prep questions surface the night before the scan, which is when they are answered
No. Study selection is a clinical decision made by your physicians and recorded as an order. The system coordinates the study that has been ordered: booking, preparation, records and the questions that surround it.
It applies the administrative rule you wrote, such as whether recent bloodwork is required and on file, and routes anything clinical to your staff. It does not advise on contrast safety, and it does not interpret a kidney function value.
It asks the screening questions your imaging partner supplies and records the answers, flagging anything that needs review before the appointment. It never clears a patient for a scan; that determination belongs to the imaging facility.
Where imaging slots live in a system we can write to, yes, through API or FHIR. Where imaging is performed by an outside center, the call produces a complete request and the patient is given your instruction on how the booking is made.
They are handled as result-status calls, which means no findings, values or impressions are read to the patient. The request is documented, verified against your rules and routed into your results workflow.
It captures everything the chase requires and creates the task with the facility, study and date. Where secure workflow automation is configured for records requests, more of that follow-through can be handled directly; the scope is agreed at setup.
