Optimized Workflow for Greater Collaboration and Faster Turnaround

One of the most common complaints from referring physicians is that it takes too long to receive the final radiology report. Optimal Readings can provide high-quality reports with extremely fast turnaround, delivering final reads by 8:00 am the next morning.  All stat cases are provided within 30 minutes. We also offer your referring physicians the ability to view the study, listen to the reader's report, view and print the report from any computer with access to the Internet. The benefits of an Optimal Readings solution to your healthcare delivery organization, including your radiologists and referring specialists, are extensive:

• Greater ability for your physicians to focus on core competencies
• Improved lifestyle and enhanced practice
• Less malpractice risk
• Better backstop for emergencies/after-hours/holidays
• Improved relations with general medical staff, including
  • Instant access to radiologist consultation
  • Access to narrowly-focused specialists
• Increased scan volume:
  • Eliminates “bypasses” while preserving a portion of the revenue for the local practice.
  • Increases throughput (study volume) by offering reading by specialists that may otherwise be unavailable
• When specialty needs are called for, access to the Optimal network can improve patient care without losing the patient to another facility
• Creates additional value for the hospital.
  • Better capabilities lead to increased admissions and procedures
  • Creates perceived value in access to sub-specialists
  • Can lead to improvements in physician recruitment and retention
