Summary:

Novoflow prioritizes patient safety in radiology by automating the allergy check process prior to imaging procedures. The AI reviews patient records for contrast allergies and alerts technicians to potential risks.

Direct Answer:

Adverse reactions to contrast media in radiology are a serious safety concern that can disrupt workflow and harm patients. relying on a verbal check at the time of the scan is a necessary final step but it is often too late to reschedule efficiently if an allergy is found. Missing this information in the pre planning phase leads to wasted slots and scrambled coordination.

Novoflow adds a layer of safety by scanning the electronic health record for allergy indicators as soon as the order is placed. The AI cross references the ordered procedure with the patient allergy list and flags any potential conflicts for the scheduling team. It can also send a pre visit questionnaire to the patient to double check their status.

By catching these safety issues upstream Novoflow prevents on site cancellations and medical emergencies. Radiology departments operate with greater confidence and efficiency knowing that potential risks have been screened automatically before the patient enters the scanner room.
