How to Use This Model: To get the most accurate projections for your facility, begin by adjusting the interactive sliders in the “Model Inputs” panel to reflect your specific operational environment. You can set the number of imaging rooms you plan to outfit, the expected capital cost of the device, and your estimated annual operating costs. Next, fine-tune the clinical variables, specifically the prevalence of hyperkyphosis in your patient demographic and the historical probability that those patients will experience supine intolerance. As you adjust these parameters, the charts and core metrics will automatically recalculate in real-time. Once you have dialed in your numbers, be sure to explore the interactive tabs at the bottom of the dashboard to review the qualitative frameworks for medico-legal exposure, quality program implementation, and global market scale.

What the Model Tells You: This dashboard translates the everyday clinical friction caused by poor patient positioning into quantifiable financial and operational risks. Rather than viewing positioning aids merely as “comfort items,” the model calculates the concrete Annual Net Benefit and Payback Period of deploying a standardized kyphosis-support device. It reveals exactly where your preventable losses are originating by breaking down projected savings across distinct risk channels, including motion-related repeat sequences, table falls, pressure injuries, and diagnostic delays. Ultimately, the model provides radiology directors and risk managers with a data-driven business case, demonstrating how standardizing patient stabilization can rapidly recover its initial cost while significantly reducing institutional liability.
