How Teleradiology Solutions Help Improve Patient Care?

Healthcare has undergone a paradigm shift in the 21st century. As the basics, accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment continue to hold significance. But focusing only on the basics isn’t adequate. Healthcare organizations must walk the extra mile to serve another dimension – patient care!

The healthcare sector has become extremely competitive. If one doesn’t, the other would. Once lost, a patient is very less likely to return. Amidst a competitive environment, healthcare players must embrace technologies and systems that genuinely enhance patient care. Is teleradiology one of them? Let’s see.

4 Ways Teleradiology Solutions Enhance Patient Care

Teleradiology refers to transmitting electronically digitized medical images of patients. While it benefits radiologists, it proves advantageous for patients as well. Let’s overview some benefits of teleradiology solutions for patients in particular.

1.     Quicker and Better Diagnostics

Teleradiology enables quick viewing of medical imaging results. So, unlike yesteryears, patients don’t have to wait for hours or the next day to collect the reports and seek consultation. Teleradiology accelerates the process, thus allowing patients and doctors to discuss the condition quickly.

2.     Enhanced Remote Patient Care

Teleradiology solutions enable healthcare organizations to reach rural places without necessarily setting up a physical center. The ability to transmit images virtually saves efforts in traveling to the center. Depending on the condition, patients may get the doctor’s feedback virtually.

On the other hand, patients at rural hospitals with minimal facilities can also benefit. The latter can send patient images to teleradiology providers. The service providers can respond with expert interpretation of a particular image. So, again, it saves the patient’s efforts to travel to the city to seek medical advice.

3.     Round the Clock Service

Patients expect healthcare professionals to work round the clock and assist them as required. Teleradiology serves the imaging aspect and makes it available 24/7.

Cloud-based teleradiology solutions enable radiologists to access patient images on their mobile phones and send report whenever the patients ask for it. So, patients don’t have to wait for the next day or wait for the radiologist to resume work to get a report.

4.     Quicker Second Opinion

Sometimes, doctors may require a second opinion for complex cases. Earlier, when doctors had to take a second opinion, they had to ask the patients to physically visit the other doctor. Visiting another doctor (perhaps at a distant place or in another city) is logistically impossible for many patients.

For such patients, teleradiology enables a second opinion without visiting the other specialist. Doctors can virtually share the image with their counterparts and seek advanced consultation or second opinion virtually. It saves effort, time, and money to visit the other doctor.

Medsynaptic’s Custom Teleradiology Solutions

Medsynaptic’s cloud-based Teleradiology solutions enable radiologists to view images and report remotely. Additionally, it allows doctors to zoom the image and have a magnified view of a particular ailment. Thus, it helps doctors understand the condition better and enhance diagnoses.

Besides, the cloud-based system allows doctors to quickly seek a second opinion without asking the patient to physically go to the doctor. Medical images remain more secure than physical storage, as cloud systems require multi-step authentication and passwords to access image records.

The award-winning teleradiology solution complies with various standards, including IHE, FDA, DICOM, HIPAA, CE, and ISO. Hence, it is secure and reliant. Call (+91) 2025650411 to know more about Medsynaptic’s cloud-based teleradiology system.

What Makes Cloud PACS the Big Thing in Medical Imaging?

Medical imaging is a rapidly evolving field. From the traditional film-based imaging systems to digital PACS, medical imaging has progressed over the last couple of decades to become more convenient for healthcare professionals. But cloud PACS goes beyond merely being digital. It offers many other benefits that make it big in medical imaging technology. Let’s see what it is. What is PACS? It might sound a bit basic for those who already know PACS. But for those who are new to it, let’s quickly glance through what PACS really is. PACS is the acronym for Picture Archiving and Communication System. It is a medical imaging technology that overcomes the challenges of conventional film-based imaging systems. PACS offers various benefits that make it a radiologist’s true friend. It includes a higher storage capacity, quick file retrieval, and remote access to images. It has helped increase operational efficiency and improve diagnostic workflows. PACS uses software and hardware to fet

How Cloud PACS Helps You in Practice?

There was a time when PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) revolutionized medical imaging. It enabled digital acquisition, storage, transmission, and display of images, thus simplifying patient record management for the healthcare sector. But although helpful and digitally empowered, traditional PACS has limitations. You cannot access images unless you are onsite and connected to the server. In other words, remote access is not possible, thus rendering emergency or after-hours services almost impossible. Accordingly, the healthcare sector looks at cloud PACS as a solution to overcome the challenges of the conventional counterpart. Wholly virtual and safe to access, cloud PACS proves a practically helpful technology. Let’s see how. 5 Benefits of Cloud PACS From remote and enhanced accessibility to substantial cost savings, cloud PACS benefits the healthcare sector in various ways. Here are five ways that make cloud PACS imperative. 1.       Quicker and Easier Ima

The Need for Cloud-Based Teleradiology Solution in the Healthcare Sector

Image
A couple of decades ago when the cloud was only part of the sky and not a technology, no one would have imagined the possibilities of virtually examining X-Rays, CT scans and other medical images and how they will bring about a revolutionary change in the way medical care is delivered. Back then, many countries were deprived of primary healthcare facilities, let alone the use of advanced equipment, so, concepts like virtual examinations were undoubtedly a far-fetched thing. But the entry of cloud technology into healthcare has helped revolutionize it. Concepts like Cloud-based Teleradiology have emerged and are transforming the dynamics of the healthcare sector. But what is Teleradiology? And why does the 21st-century healthcare players need Cloud-based Teleradiology solutions? Let’s find out answers to both of these questions. What is Teleradiology? Teleradiology is the electronic transmission of radiology images to a remote location for interpretation by a Radiologist. It has emer
