The rapid acceptance of Teleradiology services are due to a number of reasons, including:

• Advancements in Technology • Shortage of Qualified Radiologists • Strategy to Reduce Medical Facilities / Patient Costs • Patient Need for Improved Diagnostic Services Teleradiology Defined Transmission electronically of digitized medical patient images, such as MRI’s, CT scans, X-rays, Ultrasounds, and PET scans. Once the images are transferred, radiologists and physicians can view and interpret images for diagnostic purposes.

Evidence Based Benefits of Teleradiology

for Urgent Care Centers 1. Elicits evidence-base outcome of care. 2. Results are measurable clinically, economically, and operationally. 3. Mitigate risk. 4. Saves time, money, and human resources. 5. Digital technology that's ubiquitous and integra tive in nature 6. Services are efficient and effective. 7. Enhances access of healthcare and improves conti nuity of care between medical providers. 8. Supports standards of the Affordable Care Act.

Reduces Costs Because teleradiology eliminates the necessity for radiologists to travel where the patient image was captured, it enables radiologist to work from practically any remote location where he can access the images. Offers Faster Diagnostics Along with saving money through reduced costs, teleradiology offers practically instantaneous viewing of medical imaging results, oftentimes through a DICOM viewer. Collaboration Because patient medical images can be viewed remotely through teleradiology solutions, subspecialty radiologists and physicians can collaborate to derive the best treatment method for the patient. Second Opinions / Sub-Specialists For example, a clinical radiologist can easily seek a second opinion from a sub-specialist radiologist, such as a pediatric radiologist, MRI radiologist,musculoskeletal radiologist,or neuroradiologist, without having to transfer the patient . Helps combat a shortage of radiologists . Many hospitals and medical practices are experiencing shortages in their radiology staff, and this shortage is expected to continue. Because radiologists do not have to be on-site to view and interpret images, they save time and can perform their functions more efficiently when medical image transfer is used. Increased Coverage / Less Staff In other words, teleradiology helps practices do more with less staff. Helps provide weekend, emergency, holidays, vacation, and after hours services. 24x7x365 Availability Because radiologists can essentially telecommute, medical facilities that utilize this branch of telemedicine can provide services around the clock. Improves patient care in rural areas . Teleradiology can play a significant role

in improving quality patient care services in rural areas. Small rural hospitals with no radiologist on staff can send their patient images to teleradiology providers to receive quick interpretation of medical images. Expand Network w/o Expanding Staff It enables rural medical practices and hospitals to essentially expand their networks with other medical facilities and hospitals, without needing to over staff. Radiology groups, medical practices and hospitals that utilize teleradiology technology or services find an outstanding tool for improving patient care and reducing costs.
