Teleradiology beyond COVID-19

by excalibur

Teleradiology services can support health systems, clinics, rural health, critical access hospitals, retail health centers and government medical centers. Part of the growth in teleradiology came from the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue with the recovery of diagnostic imaging post-pandemic.

The advancements in technology, shortage of qualified radiologists and physicians and the need for improved diagnostic services has prompted hospitals, radiology groups, clinics and medical imaging facilities to implement teleradiology services.

Teleradiology Services

Teleradiology growth and outlooks beyond 2020:

Allied Market Research’s report, titled “Teleradiology Market” stated “The global teleradiology market accounted for $2,709 million in 2017 and is expected to reach $10,621 million by 2025 with a CAGR of 18.4% from 2018 to 2025.”

With the financial constraints in the healthcare system, Teleradiology improves overall radiologist workflow, patient care and can be cost-effective by reducing on-site costs. Teleradiology service provides coverage during the most challenging times during nighthawk hours which is why many healthcare facilities choose to outsource to ensure 24/7 diagnostic imaging timely for providers and patients.

Teleradiology Services and the Physician Shortage

by excalibur

The impact from a projected shortage of physicians in the coming decade could be alleviated in part by the growth of Telemedicine and Teleradiology.

Consider:
  • Research from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) projected a shortage up to 139,000 physicians by 2033 in its periodic report The Complexities of Physician Supply and Demand.  AAMC also mentions the physician workforce in a recent article, “U.S. physician shortage growing.”  The trend of physician shortage began long before anyone anticipated the demands on the healthcare system inflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Projections from the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the Radiologic Society of North America (RSNA) show the shortage of radiologists will continue well into the new millennium. The practice of radiology as we know it is changing to meet this critical shortage as technology continues to advance.
Trends emerging from the demand and demographics in radiology, according to the Staff Care article, include:
  • Practice consolidation
  • Increased corporate employment
  • Advancing technology
  • Faster, patient-centered readings

As the nation’s radiology challenges grow, Teleradiology can offer solutions for many healthcare facilities, particularly those needing quick turnaround for medical imaging.

Excalibur Healthcare’s teleradiology services provides healthcare facilities with the technological advantage to deliver real Patient-Centric Care. Through the use of teleradiology services, the expertise of a board certified subspecialty radiologist may be brought to an area where there may be critical shortages of radiologists. Patients in remote locations may no longer be at a disadvantage because they live in areas with a physician shortage through teleradiology services.

Prepare your medical practice and imaging departments now with customized teleradiology solutions.

Rural Healthcare is critical in times of COVID-19

by excalibur

COVID-19 has impacted healthcare providers with challenges, and opportunities, revolving around managed care and efficient access to medical services in all communities. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will provide support to many rural hospitals and clinics to allow them to remain viable and open to provide healthcare services. We thank HHS for recognizing the importance of their contribution to support rural health.

MORE: HHS funding

Many rural facilities face closures and financial losses that resulted in shutdowns according to NC Rural Health Research Program, which means major burdens and insufficient care of patients. Adding to the lack of patient care from closings, thousands of healthcare providers have been furloughed during the COVID-19 crisis, according to Becker’s Review.

MORE: CNN’s map of where rural hospitals are disappearing.

For rural facilities still operating, Telehealth, Teleradiology and Telemedicine services are needed more than ever to fully care for their patients.

At Excalibur Healthcare, we get it. Rural health concerns are unique, so are our Telehealth and Teleradiology solutions. We are here to support rural facilities and communities by seamlessly integrating services for medical imaging and providing a wide spectrum of specialties. Find out how we can help you deploy Telehealth and Teleradiology that will ensure HIPAA and HITECH compliant solutions and establish your facility for the long-term.
