Communication failures for diagnostic imaging results can have serious consequences for patient care–and can result in costly medical malpractice cases.

The goal of this webinar is to: (1) discuss how radiologists can be freed from unproductive contact attempts, creating more time to focus on clinical tasks that are higher value; and (2) share a new service methodology that streamlines the communication between referring physicians, radiologists, and patients.

Learning Objectives

  • Streamline Provider Consultations: Expedite provider to provider communications based on case priorities, ultimately improving turnaround times for diagnostic imaging results.
  • Increase Patient Engagement: Achieve mandated delivery timelines for follow-up results delivery.
  • Adopt ACR/JCAHO Best Practices: Deploying workflow rules on case urgency, response times, and case documentation.
  • Grow Patient Volumes: Help ensure follow-up exams are performed through multi-channel reminders and notifications for patients.
  • Grow Referral Base Volumes: Develop business strategies to lead in clinical management, education, research, and national best practices.

Target Audience

  • Chiefs of Radiology/Radiologists
  • Hospital/Health System Administrators: CEOs, CIOs, CMIOs, and CTOs
