Finding the Right Tele-Radiology Provider for your Practice
With a dearth of teleradiology service providers, it is important for practitioners to identify a service that is right for their practice. Here are a few considerations to take into account –
1. Does your contract contain a non-compete clause?
Tele-radiology services exist to act as a seamless extension of your practice around the clock. You want to make sure that the provider has no inhibitions towards guaranteeing never to bypass your business for the sake of a hospital contract. Make sure that you get this in writing.
2. Turnaround Times
While also service providers will claim fast turnaround times, it is important that their claims are true. In a typical practice, you want to make sure that their turnaround time per report does not exceed 20 minutes.
3. Discrepancy Rates
While the industry average is 1.0%, find a provider that is able to exceed this standard of accuracy. When signing up with a teleradiology service provider, it is critical to making sure that you are getting the most accurate report interpretations contemporarily possible.
4. Is the Solution Customized?
Each practice has its own specific needs. It is important to choose a partner that is capable of offering customized solutions that suit your approach to medical care.
Finally, make sure that the provider is using all the latest technologies to deliver their services. They must make every effort to integrate the latest technologies to offer to your practice the right tools for quick and accurate readings all year round.
