Boston hospital widens use of Allocade operations manager

Children’s Hospital Boston plans to expand implementation of Allocade’s On-Cue operations management software suite throughout its radiology department.

Children’s Hospital Boston originally deployed On-Cue in the hospital’s interventional radiology and MRI areas, according to Allocade, of Menlo Park, Calif.

On-Cue is powered by an artificial intelligence engine, which automatically manages changes and disruptions as they occur. On-Cue generates the Dynamic Patient Itinerary, a real-time list of each patient’s procedures and related preparatory tasks, Allocade added.
