Teleradiology is gaining international attention. It’s a word the public is just starting to recognize but one with which most health care providers are familiar. Outsourcing imaging diagnostics has been a sensitive topic for administrators who worry about accuracy and the qualifications of the doctors providing the service.
For these reasons and others health care providers have been reluctant to consider outsourcing this service that is so critical to proper diagnosis and treatment. A group of health care providers recently got together and came up with several
good reasons to choose outsourcing.
First of all, teleradiology is convenient for patients who no longer have to wait hours for a doctor to make a diagnosis. With companies like USARAD.com, XMRI.com and SecondOpinions.com, specialists and subspecialists read your scans and within as quickly as an hour you receive a report from a U.S. trained board certified physician. And because these doctors are specialists and subspecialists you can be sure to have a more accurate and efficient diagnosis.
Outsourcing imaging diagnostics provides a built-in second opinion an additional set of eyes to review the image helps improve quality control. Quality assurance techniques are a critical part of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Having a minimum of two trained professionals studying that image gives patients peace of mind.
This process also helps to avoid medical errors that could lead to HIPAA violations. The information is stored in private secure platforms compliant with HIPAA regulations. Reducing costs is a reality for hospitals and other medical facilities. Teleradiology saves money. Health care providers don’t have to hire staff to manage the imaging. And even more important than saving money, patients receive better health care by having access to specialists and subspecialists.
