Teleradiology
services become more accessible for the people living in the remote areas.
It is making healthcare system more fast and reliable. Teleradiology is
the process of transmitting radiological patent images. These images include
x-rays, MRI's, and CT's, etc, and are transferred from one place to another for
information or consultation purposes. Technological advancement allows
radiologists to use specialized software to transfer images and advanced
graphics provide better accuracy. Teleradiology is imperative to all healthcare
and medical facilities because of its use of technological accuracy,
improvement of overall patient care, and the services it provides for overflow.
The use
of teleradiology has expanded exponentially in the recent past due to
increasing medical imaging demands and a shrinking amount of radiologists.
This, combined with the increased growth of the internet and technology, has
made the need for teleradiology soar. Teleradiology allows radiologists to
service patients without having to be in the same physical place as the
patient, which cuts down on time and money spent. It has been shown to heighten
accuracy, as well as increase patient satisfaction. In today's competitive
environment, accuracy and satisfaction is a must. Therefore, teleradiology is
well-needed.
Teleradiology
has been shown to improve overall patient care. By providing professional
accuracy and speed, patients can be treated in a quicker manner without
sacrificing professionalism. Random monitoring and customer surveys may also be
included, which help gather useful information. All of this will help increase
patient flow and ensure professionalism. This use of technology allows a
facility to see more patients within a given time period and the results are
transferred through the use of top technology, resulting in positive patient
quality.
Having too little doctors, combined with too many patients, creates overflow. This overflow negatively affects both the patient and the doctor. Radiologists can become overburdened with too many patients, which uses up time and money. Teleradiology reduces the need for radiologists to be on site, as well as allows physicians to receive their reports in a timely manner. Having this type of technology allows for better health care system along with, efficiency and accuracy.
