Centralized dashboard for monitoring scan status and delays

Purpose

1.1. Centralize all MRI scan status and delay information into a single, automated, real-time dashboard automating visibility for key personnel.
1.2. Automate the process of aggregating patient appointment status, scan process timing, machine operational data, and delay reports from multiple platforms into one unified interface.
1.3. Enable automated alerting and monitoring by automating data flow from scheduling software, imaging devices, EHR, and notification systems.
1.4. Automate escalation protocols for critical or recurring delays, improving operational efficiency in MRI diagnostic imaging.
1.5. Standardize automated reporting and analytics on scan workflow, turnaround times, and bottlenecks.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. New MRI scan scheduled or started in EHR or scheduling software.
2.2. MRI scan delayed beyond SLA threshold detected.
2.3. Change in scan status (pending, in-progress, completed, delayed, canceled) in any connected system.
2.4. Machine downtime or maintenance flag raised.
2.5. Patient cancels or reschedules appointment automatedly.
