NilNexus

What is NilNexus?

NilNexus from Hyland provides an integrated, universal patient worklist. It is used to intelligently route, sort and distribute imaging studies based on custom preferences to increase productivity while improving quality and reducing turnaround times.

NilNexus’s Workflow Optimizer engine matches the right study with the right physician to improve accuracy and throughput. The engine receives study information from the modality worklist integration and intelligently populates, organizes and manages studies for automatic distribution.

Distribution is based on preferences determined by physician profiles composed of the following criteria:

Licensure/credentialing
Seat/location
Physician schedule
Subspecialty
Insurance
Modality preferences
Exam code
Exam status

NilNexus’s proprietary load balancing algorithm uses complex rules to provide real-time distribution to any number of assigned users across the enterprise. Its Workflow Optimizer engine assigns a weight to each imaging study, called a “value point.” During every scheduled shift, each physician is assigned the same amount of work, but not necessarily the same number of studies, as some jobs have higher value points than others. This automatic assignment of studies helps eliminate cherry-picking, low productivity and poor turnaround times.
