1. The rapid acceptance of Teleradiology services are due to a number of
reasons, including:
• Advancements in Technology
• Shortage of Qualified Radiologists
• Strategy to Reduce Medical Facilities / Patient Costs
• Patient Need for Improved Diagnostic Services
Teleradiology Defined
Transmission electronically of digitized medical patient images, such as
MRI’s, CT scans, X-rays, Ultrasounds, and PET scans.
Once the images are transferred, radiologists and physicians can view and
interpret images for diagnostic purposes.
Evidence Based Benefits of Teleradiology
for Urgent Care Centers
1. Elicits evidence-base outcome of care.
2. Results are measurable clinically, economically, and operationally.
3. Mitigate risk.
4. Saves time, money, and human resources.
5. Digital technology that's ubiquitous and integrative in nature
6. Services are efficient and effective.
7. Enhances access of healthcare and improves continuity of care between
medical providers.
8. Supports standards of the Affordable Care Act.

Reduces Costs
Because teleradiology eliminates the necessity for radiologists to travel where
the patient image was captured, it enables radiologist to work from practically any
remote location where he can access the images.
Offers Faster Diagnostics
Along with saving money through reduced costs, teleradiology offers practically
instantaneous viewing of medical imaging results, oftentimes through a DICOM
viewer.
Collaboration
Because patient medical images can be viewed remotely through teleradiology
solutions, subspecialty radiologists and physicians can collaborate to derive the
best treatment method for the patient.
Second Opinions / Sub-Specialists
For example, a clinical radiologist can easily seek a second opinion from a sub-
specialist radiologist, such as a pediatric radiologist, MRI
radiologist,musculoskeletal radiologist,or neuroradiologist, without having to
transfer the patient .
Helps combat a shortage of radiologists.
Many hospitals and medical practices are experiencing shortages in their
radiology staff, and this shortage is expected to continue.
Because radiologists do not have to be on-site to view and interpret images, they
save time and can perform their functions more efficiently when medical image
transfer is used.
Increased Coverage / Less Staff
In other words, teleradiology helps practices do more with less staff.
Helps provide weekend, emergency, holidays, vacation, and after hours services.
24x7x365 Availability
Because radiologists can essentially telecommute, medical facilities that utilize
this branch of telemedicine can provide services around the clock.
Improves patient care in rural areas. Teleradiology can play a significant role

3. in improving quality patient care services in rural areas.
Small rural hospitals with no radiologist on staff can send their patient images to
teleradiology providers to receive quick interpretation of medical images.
Expand Network w/o Expanding Staff
It enables rural medical practices and hospitals to essentially expand their
networks with other medical facilities and hospitals, without needing to over staff.
Radiology groups, medical practices and hospitals that utilize teleradiology
technology or services find an outstanding tool for improving patient care and
reducing costs.
