THE INVENTION
The Appellants claim a method for analyzing the productivity of a
plurality of medical resources that are associated with at least one of a
plurality of medical system modalities (e.g., a magnetic resonance imaging
system, a computed tomography system or an ultrasound system (Spec. 2: 4-
8)) and include a medical diagnostic system (e.g., a magnetic resonance
imaging system, a computed tomography system or an ultrasound imaging
system (Spec. 5:17-19)), comprising electronically directing client data (e.g.,
operating data for the medical resource (Spec. 3: 17-18)) from a remote
interface to a productivity analysis system via a network, analyzing the
client data with the productivity analysis system, and providing a
productivity analysis report to a client (e.g., the medical institution having
the medical resource (Spec. 3:18-19)) via the network.
Claim 1 is illustrative:
1. A method for analyzing productivity of a medical
resource, the method comprising:
electronically directing client data transmitted from a
remote interface to a productivity analysis system via a
network, wherein the productivity analysis system is configured
to evaluate a plurality of medical resources associated with at
least one of a plurality of medical system modalities, the client
data comprising operational data relating to a medical system
employed at a medical facility, the medical system comprising a
medical diagnostic system;
