Coverage planner

Plan reading coverage for your facility.

Bring your examination mix, priorities and hours together in one concise brief. It is prepared in your browser, and you decide whether to download it, copy it or email it to the contact you choose.

Useful to have to hand

  • Approximate monthly volume by modality
  • Your facility’s time zone and scanning hours
  • Your PACS or RIS name, if known

The coverage planner prepares your brief in the browser and needs JavaScript. The fields below show what it asks for.

Your facility

Required fields are marked *. Approximate details are fine.

Name only. No web addresses, IP addresses or sign-in details.

Examinations and priorities

Select every modality you want included in the reading scope.

Modalities

Turnaround targets for each priority are agreed later.

Hours and timing

Coverage hours are local time in the facility time zone. Find your coverage gaps first if you are unsure.

Prepared on this device. The planner does not send or store your entries.

Your coverage brief

Scope, hours and systems on one page.

Complete the planner to prepare a plain-text brief for a coverage conversation.

  2. Modalities, breast scope and priorities
  3. Coverage hours and preferred start
  4. Business-information confirmation

The brief stays on this device until you download, copy or email it.

What comes next

From a brief to a plan.

The brief is the start of a conversation about scope, not a commitment. These are the steps that usually follow.

  1. Align on the scope

    Examinations, hours, priorities, report types and what stays onsite, confirmed against your brief.

  2. Confirm eligibility and connections

    Reader licensure and credentialing for your state and facility, and the integration plan for images, orders, priors and reports.

  3. Agree the path to go-live

    Agreements, a validation plan and a realistic start date built from the slowest track.
