The new peerVue platform enables users to:

•Identify potential problems before they arise. (Appropriateness of study.)


•Identify actual problems and to communicate relevant issues and necessary workflow to rapidly resolve these. (Emergency Department Discrepancies, or Peer Review Discordances.)

•Streamline communications of priority and urgent findings. (Critical Findings, Unexpected Findings, and Critical Test Results.)

•Ensure closure for all clinically significant events or workflow.

•Foster continual quality and performance improvements. (Technologist Performance Feedback, Radiologist Peer Review, Resident Proctoring.)

•Reduce risk and indemnity by documenting issues involved in potentially costly litigation.

·Increase revenue opportunities. (For example, by streamlining the identification and resolution of billing issues and prompting users to guide them to attain available bonus reimbursement opportunities.)

"QICS drives efficiency, accountability and effective patient care, without calling for added time and effort, while making the most of the resources sites already own," comments Lawton. "It integrates broad workflow and communications functions into a single familiar interface, streamlining learning curves and adapting to a site's changing needs."

QICS is as necessary as HIS, RIS and PACS to ensure that a radiology department delivers the highest quality of service and remains competitive in today's demanding healthcare environment.
