It used to be teleradiology was considered a convenience service, allowing radiologists to be on-call while reading images remotely. Now teleradiology is becoming part of
the business model for clinics, hospitals and imaging centers. That’s because
the benefits are tremendous.
For instance, teleradiology provides access to subspecialists for imaging centers in remote and suburban areas. Radiology groups and local practices can use teleradiology services to
cover after hours, vacations or weekends at lower costs, increasing profitability and reducing administrative hassles.
A study published in the journal, American College of Radiology, suggests many radiology groups still use on call services for nights and weekends. However, experts believe the majority are likely to join teleradiology practices in coming years.
The quality of imaging interpretations from subspecialists and round the clock service is
specifically helpful in the study and diagnosis of complex medical conditions like cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Teleradiology not only provides patient satisfaction, clinics, hospitals and imaging centers are finding teleradiology to be a great addition to the services they already provide.
