Teleradiology Services Are Forerunners Among the Healthcare Providers to Adapt to Hybrid Work in Contemporary Times

The healthcare management faced a tough situation during a pandemic time and emerged victorious in extending the best care to COVID & Non-COVD patients as well as safeguarding its medical care providers (clinical & non-clinical); and with the understanding that technology-driven practices and contact-less patient care are the new norms and necessity. 

Today, medical technology integrated with deep learning and artificial intelligence is one of the major contributing factors. On-line consultation through telemedicine, teleradiology, drone services, e-pharmacy, remote working, and at home services are some of the examples contributing to reduced or no exposure. Radiology was among the forerunners that made a swift adaption to new norms and supported the system with remote working. The technology companies too supported the medical system’s functionality either in maintaining or increasing the efficiency of the operational team during the patient flow surge. 

Teleradiology system driven by technological advancement has emerged as one of the most reliable modes of the patient care system in any given situation to deal with, be it a reporting for emergency or isolated COVID patients or IP/OPD patients, and could cope with the surge in image reporting through the option of remote reporting. This hybrid work norm supported many institutions in delivering patient care without any delay. Today’s teleradiology is integrated with the latest PACS, AI enabled workflow, internet connectivity with wide bandwidth and an experienced back-end support team that has made the reporting possible with short TAT. Technology companies have developed systems to transfer and archive the large dataset with integrity fulfilling the radiologist’s need for high-quality images for reporting. 

Machine Manufacturers are also contributing by developing systems that capture high-quality images with low dose radiation and high sensitivity. And to catch up with the trend of imaging services at point-of-care, compact mobile machines are getting developed to fulfill the need. The ultrasound machine and mobile X-ray machines are proving it with their wire-less and cloud-computing features. 

Remote Learning is being embraced by educators and many clinicians. The online recorded or live sessions have become the mode of learning for aspiring future physicians and medical professionals. Webinars/conferences and interactive sessions are being conducted virtually benefiting the healthcare providers and patients. 

With progressing time, the positive and productive approaches of radiologists, healthcare providers and technology companies the recovery from the pandemic is becoming a reality.

PACS: Diminishing the Distance and Enabling the Real-Time Services in Teleradiology

The pandemic time has unveiled a plethora of opportunities and brought in a paradigm shift in work culture – Remote Working, driven by technology. This has enabled the continuation of services irrespective of location and time without compromising the quality-of-service delivery. But this remote working is not a new concept in Radiology. Many radiologists have been supporting the clinicians irrespective of their location and time through teleradiology and delivering quality patient care without delay. 

Teleradiology, identified with remote working is actually vibrant, spontaneous, and into real-time work. All this is possible because of PACS.

PACS – Picture Archiving and Communication System; a system involved in acquiring the medical images, transmission, viewing, storage, and retrieval of same images. Basically, PACS is an electronic version of the file room and reading room for radiologists. PACS works as a host that integrates the radiological images acquired from different radiological imaging modalities (X-Ray, Ultrasound, CT, MRI, PET Scan, Nuclear Medicine, etc…) with a network of information system (RIS and or HIS), EMR, different work stations and image storage/archival system.

Since 1980, PACS has undergone many transformations in multiple ways. All these have been worked out to improve – the transmission of images without any compromise on its quality, archiving and retrieving of data (images and other information) for reference without any delay, communication between the referring Physician, and reporting radiologist. The fundamental parts of PACS are – imaging acquisition, display workstations, archive servers. The workflow is customized based on the modality of images and criticality of the cases marked in the raised work orders

Today, the Web-based PACS offers many additional features like AI-Assisted Decision Support systems, Multi-Media Enhanced Reporting (MMER), an intuitive user interface, intelligent work aids (personalized tools and layout), mobile extensions, multimedia communication tools, etc that boost reading/reporting, making it a smart PACS. It is a coordinator between multiple processes (software & hardware) and applications enabling the image reporting as a real-time service supporting referring physicians.

The benefit of all these features has resulted in reduced TAT, improved productivity of department, better management of emergency / critical cases, and maintenance of data security. It also enables the viewing of images for reporting from anywhere – inside the department or at the nursing station or on mobile gadgets (mobile/notepads/laptops) or remote reporting sites (Teleradiology). 

PACS infrastructure is evolving with advancements in medical imaging technologies and it is highly scalable to keep up the pace with the increasing number of imaging and reporting. This scalability can involve – the addition of more no. of imaging modalities, storage space, no. of work stations, integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning or any other features.

PACS in Hospitals / Tele-reporting service providers with different modalities and multiple work stations use Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) which brings about compatibility between the different software of imaging machines and PACS’ networking. VNA ensures seamless functioning of data receiving, transmission, integration, and archival and saves time by providing one viewing experience/interface irrespective of the origin of data acquisition.  

Cloudex Solutions: extending teleradiology with cloud-based PACS

Cloudex has set its tele-reporting infrastructure with the advanced smart PACS that provides a convenient workflow and easy-to-use interfaces/dashboard. These advanced online PACS is capable of handling multiple modalities and multiple workstations providing the browser as the main viewing tool enhancing the faster TAT.

The teleradiologists login into the browser and start with the flexibility of time ensuring the tele-reporting services for 24x 7 x 365. Now hospitals / diagnostic centers have the advantage of need-based tele-reporting depending on the imaging modality/subspecialty/timing (full time or night hawk services) instead of traditional reporting apart without a huge investment in digitalized workflow and storage. The experience of the PACS administrator adds a lot of value especially in critically marked/emergency cases apart from their regular maintaining or managing or troubleshooting roles. 

Cloudex with its flexibility in working and range of tele-reporting services aims to support its clients (healthcare service providers) in overcoming obstacles faced while delivering patient care and have a winning edge towards patient satisfaction.

At Cloudex, we support you to have that winning edge.

Panademic Crisis Boon Teleradiology

A medical system by which patient’s radiological images from a variety of health care facilities are transmitted electronically for review and reporting by experienced, offsite radiologists and that’s teleradiology. The resulting reports are then transmitted back to the original facility, providing key insights about the images and helping to determine the course of further patient care. The true fact is that this system is grown within the medical field over the last number of decades, only a few are familiar with the particulars of teleradiology.

Now in the present scenario use of teleradiology is highly recommended as the covid 19 crisis threatens the entire world. Moreover, it ensures the safety of professionals and patients simultaneously. However, optimization of IT solutions and implementation of the right change process is a significant milestone for a successful transition.

Radiology plays an important role during the pandemic as it is essential to maintain the continuity of the health service to the patients. Using such technology based on the transmission of radiological patient images from one location to another and allows radiologists to provide services without having to be in contact with the patient is peculiarly important to minimize the expansion of the covid 19 virus.

In some countries, radiology departments in public and private experienced this solution of remote working, showing a positive impact during the outbreak.

The physical distance between the technologist radiologist, the referring physicians, and the patient is of great advantage now as concerns the present situation. If the concerned patient is in self-quarantine due to exposure to a covid patient, in such situation teleradiology helps much with doctors as being able to read, albeit from far x-rays or CT scan of coronavirus patients.

In China at an early stage of a pandemic outbreak, before swab testing was really available, CT scan was used by doctors to assess the probability of covid 19 infections, same time used to track and monitor the progression of the disease as described by some researchers from China.

Teleradiology allows radiologists to work and be productive when isolated from the rest of their community, while the necessity for social distancing is inevitable in the current pandemic, definitely help to restrict the virus transmission. This practice of receiving images to interpret from a facility and that too is out of radiologists’ geographical vicinity is a truly valuable contribution at this time of unprecedented crisis. By supporting areas of the physician shortage and backing up they are in hospital counterparts, teleradiology serves in a significant way to relieve some of the stresses that global health care systems are currently experiencing.

Medical Science has proven time and again that when the resources are provided, great progress in the treatment, cure, and prevention of diseases can occur.

When there is a crisis we can use two brush strokes to write the word ‘crisis’. One brush stroke stands for danger and the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger but on the other hand recognize the opportunity. It’s really an unpredictable situation for the medical field globally, the danger is on the way we move on. But on the other side of the coin, we are forced to find innovative solutions to problems we may never face before.
When we approach the crisis from a hopeful perspective rather than with a stance of resistance, we can navigate this difficult situation by making it beneficial for the modern medical system knows to be teleradiology.
