Six sigma methodologies were used to analyze the processes, reduce the non-value added steps, improve the processes and calculate the ROI. Radiology exam turnaround time and patient's flow, before and after the PACS implementation, were analyzed and values were statistically tested to assess workflow and productivity improvements. Statistical elaboration of the collected data shows that the reduction in flow time is 56% and the decrease in report time is 75% when RIS/PACS is used compared to traditional department flow and RTT. Implementation of Six sigma in a digital department with RIS and PACS will improve the quality of performance to an unrecorded level.
