My company started out many moons ago using the DOS based Medtech scheduler application. It was never meant to handle the loads we now generate, and as such, has become extremely unreliable and flakey. Also, it is something we were not able to integrate into our RIS. After a long search for suitable replacements, we have settled on Purkinje. Now the fun of integrating it into our custom RIS begins.

It seems like the technical issues are not causing too much difficulty, it is more on the change management/user work flow side of things that we struggle. And this struggle has minimal to do with the Purkinje app. Really, it is the fact that now we want to store as much information as possible in the RIS, without harming our booking department’s productivity.

Thankfully, our booking manager is a great lady, and if today is any indication, we are taking large steps forward. After an afternoon pow wow with her, we have identified ideal scenarios, as well as troublesome issues, and potential work arounds. Now, I just have to speak to our developer to see what he things of my proposed “fixes” to problems!
