Indian health care providers have recognized the need to deliver quality care because of the shortage of radiologists in countries like the US and the UK. They understand that clinical experts want to care for their patients better and need to have access to collaborative platforms, medical data bases and clinical guidelines.
By outsourcing teleradiology to India one can be assured of:
- Competent & Trained professionals
- Time zone advantages
- Skill set availability
- HIPAA mandates adhered to
- Quality Assurance in-built
- 24x7x365 coverage
Changing the landscape of healthcare globally and in India
Teleradiology increases the efficiency of the doctor by ensuring that he spends the most part of his time delivering quality care to the maximum number of patients. One doctor based in one location can simultaneously provide services to several hospitals in multiple different locations.
It breaks geographical and time barriers and helps achieve accurate diagnoses in the shortest possible time.
Benefits to the USA:
- Because of teleradiology, patients can be diagnosed and effectively treated at any time of the day or night, with a diagnosis provided from across the globe within 30 minutes. It is cost-effective to the hospital, as the need to recruit night shift personnel is minimised.
- The quality of care delivered by a wide awake, alert physician working a day shift in India is far superior to that provided by a US-based radiologist who is up all night.
- A sub-specialty opinion delivered to locations where the expertise is otherwise unavailable is an added benefit.
There is an acute shortage of radiologists in the US.
- Due to the development of new and faster imaging modalities, an ageing population and increase in the clinical applications for imaging, more and more radiologic imaging scans are today being performed in the US, requiring more radiologic expertise.
- Training programs in the US have not kept pace with these changes. The numbers of training positions have remained relatively constant while the number of scans has exponentially increased. We stepped in to fill that void.
- Teleradiology will help the US extend its high quality health care globally. Clinical medicine and research as practiced in the US has a cutting-edge over other countries.
- What teleradiology will do for the US is allow it to impart its world-class knowledge of medicine to doctors from around the world, who will then bring that expertise back to their countries. This will be America's greatest gift to the world.
Benefits to India:
- Within India today, there is a problem of access to medical services as doctors prefer to live in cities and rural areas have no specialised or quality medical care. Inaccessibility should not be a reason to deny medical attention. Teleradiology Solutions intends to fill that gap. Many of the hospitals in India's districts have CT scanners but very few radiologists who are skilled in their interpretation.
- We aim to link all remote areas in the country to provide reporting services to the people of India that are on par with those anywhere in the world.
- Additionally, if US radiologists of Indian origin wish to return to their home country they now have a wonderful opportunity to work for the US (or for India if they choose to) from a base within India.
