Enterprise Imaging for Radiology Reading Practices in the USA
As the global population ages and the demand for medical imaging intensifies, healthcare providers across the USA and beyond are increasingly turning to radiology practices to handle the growing volume of exam readings.
To meet this rising demand, radiology practices must scale their reading capacity without compromising the quality of care or the well-being of their radiologists. Simultaneously, fostering a work environment that attracts and retains top-tier talent is crucial for sustaining long-term success.
10 good reasons to implement Enterprise Imaging in your Radiology Practice:
Empower Flow
With Enterprise Imaging, radiologists gain an exceptional and empowering experience that remains consistent regardless of their daily responsibilities, working location, or the healthcare system they are currently servicing.
The seamless integration of imaging technology eliminates the need to switch between different PACS and reporting systems, allowing radiologists to work more efficiently and stay in the flow, maximizing their potential without disruptions.
Improve capacity and efficiency
By eliminating reading silos and providing blazing-fast image access regardless of location, radiologist reading capacity and practice throughput can both be increased. This also shortens report turnaround times and enhances quality, helping to ensure compliance with customer service level agreements (SLAs).
These improvements help lead to better operational and financial outcomes while supporting the delivery of an exceptional patient experience.
Enhance your practice’s attractiveness
With AGFA HealthCare Network Radiology streaming overlay, your radiology service offering becomes significantly more appealing to health systems – either prospects and customers. Your clients can greatly reduce their imaging management responsibilities. They no longer need to provide Radiology PACS services and radiologist reading performance satisfaction; their primary focus can shift to producing high-quality images and metadata.
Teleradiology: No barriers across geographies
Remote radiologists are a cornerstone of diagnostic imaging moving forward, enabling radiology practices to handle their ever-increasing reading volumes.
Work seamlessly with radiologists wherever they are located. Each radiologist can read for all your customers , while maintaining maximum control over their work environment and schedule. And, the built-in orchestration capabilities allocates reading tasks to the most appropriate specialist. Radiologists are both more productive and happier, with a better work/life balance.
Connect with more healthcare systems
Enterprise Imaging’s powerful support for teleradiology frees you to work with more healthcare systems, regardless of their location. You can deliver full-service 24/7 or shift-based coverage, for all types of studies, with fast report turnaround, across a much broader geographical area.
Cloud-ready when you are ready
Ready to manage the unexpected, reduce complexity, enhance the radiologist’s experience, and increase your own cost control and predictability? Enterprise Imaging is also available as a full SaaS Cloud solution. Enterprise Imaging Cloud includes updates and upgrades, managed infrastructure and managed service, giving you the freedom to keep your focus where it belongs: on your radiologists and health system customers.
A powerful technology combination
Combining streaming, workflow orchestration, and federation technologies, Enterprise Imaging delivers true innovation for radiology practices.
Blazing fast web-streaming technology
The Enterprise Imaging Web-Streaming Client is a unique, revolutionary image display technology. With its server-side streaming technology, Enterprise Imaging Streaming delivers blazing-fast performance both locally and remotely, up to 60ms away!
Workflow orchestration
At the core of Enterprise Imaging is the RUBEE® Orchestrator, a transformative work assignment technology that revolutionizes how enterprise and cross-organizational medical imaging worklists are managed.
Federated cross-enterprise worklist
Enterprise Imaging federation technology is a cutting-edge real-time system aggregator that allows radiologists to dynamically access reading tasks and imaging data from any PACS without manual intervention and without cost intensive prefetching or routing.
This is ensured by transparently accessing the federated PACS systems through a web-streaming EI Rendernode.
Key benefits of the federated streaming architecture
- Seamless Cross-Site Operations: Support for seamless operations across different sites, allowing radiologists to access and interpret images from any location within the network.
- Consistent User Experience: A consistent, high-quality viewing experience across all devices and locations, regardless of the size or complexity of the imaging study.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Enabling radiologists and other healthcare professionals to collaborate in blazing fast speeds, and reporting on imaging studies on a single user interface, regardless of where the data is stored, facilitating better-informed clinical decisions.
