From the November 2013 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine
Managing costs was another very important consideration for us. We need to improve productivity in a very robust solution, with the features and functionality that allow us to accurately and completely assess an image, and also allow our referrers to do so. Our system has been adopted by our referring community and is very easy to use and it has allowed us to easily, quickly and readily distribute images and information across the enterprise. In many ways, we’re doing a much better job of providing healthcare today than we were three years ago.
Our physicians are now empowered with the patient’s health record, images and reports literally at their fingertips. The benefit of giving physicians access to data on mobile devices, has allowed us to improve the delivery of care dramatically and also allowed the patient to be an active participant in the care process. The possibilities created by the mobility, scalability and accessibility in health care technology are quite remarkable. These innovations, along with many others, make it a very exciting time to be a part of the health care IT community.
