Getting the right radiology service can save a person's life. Early detection is extremely important for many different types of cancers that can be detected with the right imaging technology. Breast cancer is one of the many conditions that greatly benefits by receiving a high quality radiology imaging service. Besides detecting these conditions, quality radiology services for urgent care centers also prevent wrong diagnosis and treatment in emergency situations.
To meet this demand, UrgentRad is providing radiology service for urgent care centers in the U.S. The company's workflow platform improves patient care, efficiency and makes it affordable for consumers to receive the highest quality imaging.
The platform was implemented on May 18, 2013 to give urgent care centers the functionality they need to have access to top of the line radiologists. The platform achieves this by allowing urgent care centers to:
· Have a fully functional web-based image viewer with a cloud based off-site, long-term image storage
· Get final reports directly to an email/smart phone, fax or online
· Access to performance analytics and one call to talk to interpreting radiologists
· Average turnaround time of 30 minutes on all studies and ability to burn images to CD
· Automatically find and attach prior studies without human intervention
UrgentRad facilitates the communication between physicians and radiologists so every request is answered with all the available clinical information, diagnosis and any signs and symptoms. This ensures the physician has the most relevant information available to diagnose their patients with more accuracy. This platform gives technicians a user interface that simplifies the process of submitting clinically significant information.
By reporting the most relevant information about the patient, accurate findings will be relayed to the physician about the patient without leaving room for misinterpretation. UrgentRad has a redundant system with 24/7 support with 99.99 percent uptime that is fully Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) compliant.
"Reimbursement reductions and tougher competition are forcing urgent care center owners to find better solutions to improve quality, improve efficiency and still generate a meaningful profit. We understand their situation and that’s why we put this model together - to improve patient care, improve efficiency, and make it affordable," said Irena Ajic, director of business at UrgentRad.
