Marlboro Hospital’s Innovators of the Year Award

Project: Marlboro Stat CT Turn-Around-Time (TAT)

Congratulations to Marlboro Radiology Team: Paul Riggieri, Evan Ruppell, Hao Lo, Beth Baker and Linda Egan for winning the “Best Project of the Year (Gold Level) for Marlboro Hospital’s Innovators of the Year award for their Project: Marlboro Stat CT Turn-Around-Time (TAT).

The multidisciplinary team optimized the process for requesting a stat CT exam at Marlboro by optimizing ordering practices, Radiologists work-list prioritization and Radiologist staffing. Starting at a baseline of only 30% of Stat CTs being read within two hours, the team has now implemented a new workflow in which 80-90% of stat CTs are now read within less than two hours.
