(Excerpted from) October 2005 Supporting Digital Workflow: Furniture, Carts & COWs by Lisa A. Fratt Desert Radiologists, a five-office practice in Las Vegas, employed a middle of the road approach to equipping its sites for the digital world. The practice did not jump into an option, but it did not rebuild from the ground up either. Chief Operating Officer Jerry Hartman, RT, and two radiologists started the process at the Radiological Society of North America meeting in 2004, visiting a variety of vendors for brief demonstrations. After the show, Hartman completed online research and decided the Biomorph Desk led the field. Desert Radiologists purchased a single desk and Freedom Chair from Biomorph. Radiologists rotated through the new arrangement, allowing Hartman to determine whether or not his selection worked for the majority of radiologists. After a short test drive, most radiologists agreed with Hartman's choice, so the COO took the next step - inviting a Biomorph designer to Las Vegas for a basic reading room design consultation. The designer helped Hartman determine which Biomorph desk model fit each reading room, and the practice eventually outfitted itself with several styles. Despite slight variations in size and style, each desk features electronic risers for easy adjustability and provides consistent end results - increased comfort and reduced fatigue.
