What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In hospital oncology departments, radiation therapists often juggle patient scheduling across EMR platforms like Epic and calendars in Outlook. Manual coordination means checking machine availability, matching provider schedules, and updating patient records by hand. This repetitive work eats up valuable time and increases the risk of double bookings or missed treatments.

If you keep ignoring it
