There are numerous benefits of teleradiology services to
both facilities and their patients:-
- Teleradiology Save Money: - Teleradioloy helps the facilities to save their money. This teleradiology solution phases out the need of travel and allow radiologists to work from anywhere that is most comfortable and cost-efficient. Hospitals of all the sizes can use this Solution which makes the hospital more competitive and better able to serve the needs of their patients.
- Teleradiology Save Time: - Teleradiology solution help radiologist to have immediate access of medical images over the internet or via secure telecommunication server. It gives the result faster in imaging reports
- Teleradiology Improves Access to Care: - Teleradiology means access to sub specialty radiologists in regions where health care disparities arise. Without teleradiology some patients would suffer from delayed diagnosis and treatment, which could in turn negatively impact their health. More hospitals in smaller towns and rural areas are engaging in teleradiology services to maintain 24/7 access to subspecialists via videoconferencing that they otherwise could not interact with. With this technological solution, they are seeing a reduction in operational costs as well as improved patient outcomes.
Today, over 70 per cent of clinical
decisions are made on the basis of diagnostics like radiology and laboratory results.
Using teleradiology, radiologists no longer need to be present within the same
hospital, department, office, or, on an even larger scale, the same country
with the patient and patients can also quickly have diagnostic imaging
interpreted without requiring a radiologist on site.
It can also be used as an educational device with case
presentations provided by educational centers for groups of clinical
radiologists or individuals in their own hospitals.
