Diagnostic Turnaround Improved by 600% Through Intero...(nitialimplementation include: Reduced...)

Reduced Diagnostic Turnaround: use of the MEDxConnect System reduced the turnaround time from when patient scans were acquired to when completed reports were delivered to referring physicians from 18 hours to three -- a 600% improvement. Designed to efficiently manage the diagnostic radiological services for clients from multiple referring organizations, the MEDxConnect System implementation enables the ability to retrieve and store diagnostic images on DICOM archives, the ability to manage activities via a patient work list generated from multiple PACS or network systems, and the ability to route images to participating physicians based upon any combination of modality, body part, and/or referring physician. Finally, to maximize productivity and reduce spikes in workload, physicians have the ability to access patients work lists throughout the network.

Improved Access to Patient Information: 70% of all studies now have priors automatically pre-fetched without staff involvement. The MEDxConnect solution enables users to automatically pull all types of patient information, including historical and demographic data, prior reports and images, and physicians' notes from disparate information and imaging systems, irrespective of vendor and distribute it to the appropriate physicians in real-time. The result is a robust and cost-effective solution that facilitates improved efficiency and improved patient care.

Improved Patient Safety: 20% of studies have additional priors and more complete patient data as a result of automated pre-fetching. Many of these studies may have been overlooked because the information systems did not or could not associate the data with the patient. Improved access to this information may significantly decrease duplicative or unnecessary exams due to incidentalomas.

The MEDxConnect System acts as a communications hub, enabling various PACS, HIS, RIS and other data information systems to c
