AccessMRI encodes the structured CIED MRI workflow developed by Dr. Anish Bhuva in a high-volume cardiac MRI centre. For clinic leaders, this provides a predictable process that reduces cancellations and stabilizes scanner use, with less dependence on a few experts and a complete audit trail for quality, billing, and regulatory review. For patients with devices, it means MRI access governed by a clear protocol rather than ad-hoc decisions or delay.
When we spoke with the chief executive of a large radiology network, he only realized the scale of this issue after reviewing it with his team: the problems around CIED MRI were real, recurrent, and expensive—but almost entirely undocumented, and therefore invisible in routine reports. What looks like “just how it is” operationally is, in fact, a systematic source of loss.
In clinics that a structured CIED MRI workflow, the same patterns appear again and again:
Because this work sits outside any formal, standardized process, these losses accumulate over time, eroding the financial potential of the MRI clinic.
AccessMRI tackles these failure points by moving work upstream and making it visible. Each CIED case follows the same digital workflow: referral, structured device and risk assessment, explicit clearance, scheduled scan, and post-scan checks in one record. Cardiology input is captured before the list is built; radiology schedules only cleared cases; and every step is documented.
We deployed our first workflow in 2016. Since then, the data we’ve collected conclusively proves how significantly AccessMRI can improve your clinic’s operations.
If you are responsible for MRI operations, device patients, or the financial performance of your service and are curious what a structured electronic implant workflow would look like in your organization, book a call and we can walk through it together.
For Radiology Teams – Improve implant MRI workflow and scanner utilization
For Cardiology Teams – Make MRI access for device patients predictable
For Hospital Leadership – Assess the clinical and economic case
We’d be happy to schedule a demo and show you how AccessMRI can help.
