MRI Safety Co-pilot provides an automated workflow platform that digitizes patient screening, implant information collection, and safety education for MRI procedures. The system alerts staff to potential risks before patients arrive, tracks time spent on safety tasks to support Medicare CPT billing, and stores all risk assessments in a HIPAA‑compliant repository, helping imaging centers reduce same‑day reschedules and improve compliance.

Problem
Imaging centers must manually screen patients for implants, devices, and other MRI hazards using disparate paper forms, emails, and fax, which is time‑consuming and prone to errors. Missed or incomplete safety checks lead to same‑day reschedules, safety incidents, and difficulty proving compliance with Medicare CPT billing requirements.
Solution
The MRI Safety Co‑pilot platform digitizes the entire MRI safety workflow. Patients receive electronic screening questionnaires that capture implant and device information before their appointment. The system aggregates and stores this data, provides automated safety education to patients, and flags potential risks early. Real‑time alerts notify technologists and radiologists of identified hazards before the patient arrives, allowing proactive mitigation. All screening logs, risk assessments, and time‑tracking records are kept in a HIPAA‑compliant repository, supporting CPT 76014/76015 billing and audit trails. The solution integrates with existing PACS/EHR/RIS environments to streamline operations without replacing existing workflows.
Target Audience
Primary customers are outpatient MRI imaging centers, hospital radiology departments, and diagnostic imaging clinics that need to ensure patient safety and meet billing compliance for MRI procedures.
