When a patient is unwell, waiting hours for answers is not ideal.
Diagnostic imaging and radiology reports often become the frustrating bottleneck for a patient where time is of the essence. Since they are critical for accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions, patients depend on timely results, and any delay can heighten their anxiety and frustration.
Recent research shows that 64% of patients want easy access to their radiology reports, and 85% want to view their diagnostic images at their leisure. When patients are given their imaging results quickly with a clear understanding of their condition, they are more inclined to follow their treatment plans and feel more confident managing their health.
Real-time radiology ensures patients receive answers shortly after their images are taken. It's like having the expertise of a remote radiologist right in the room with the patient.
As the healthcare industry advances toward more efficient and patient-centered services, the field of radiology emerges as an area in need of transformation, and real-time radiology stands out as the tool to do it.
