Telehealth is revolutionizing the practice of medicine, enabling efficient and effective communications among physicians and between patients and physicians, regardless of their location. Technological advances are also expanding real-time access to specialized expertise, and in no field is this more evident than radiology.
To complete non-interventional diagnostic examinations, the interpreting radiologist does not need to be physically present in the exam room with the patient. All necessary images and medical records can be quickly and securely transmitted between locations within minutes, equipping an off-site radiology specialist with everything he or she needs to deliver a thorough, accurate, and timely report. In turn, the provider can quickly access the imaging information needed to diagnose the patient, thus allowing the patient to begin treatment sooner. When there is a critical finding, the radiologist will phone the care provider directly. This measure is to help eliminate unnecessary delays and ensure clear communication.
Strengthen Your Radiology Staff with Real Radiology
Considering the high demand of radiologists across the US, many groups and hospitals are scrambling to hire from an already limited number of available radiologists. Many radiology group administrators or physicians may find themselves reaching across community lines to other radiology groups, in an attempt to resolve their mutual daytime staffing shortages. This is where it becomes difficult, as physicians from Group A need to be credentialed with Group B’s facilities, the IT integration and workflow need to be established for Group B to read Group A’s facilities. Credentialing of Group A’s physicians need to be performed with the payors of Group B. And you can see where this is going.
