Due to demand from our existing clients for an exclusive audit service and having conducted many successful and on-going audit programmes for external organisations, 4 Ways are pleased to offer this comprehensive service to all NHS Trusts and Private healthcare providers. Simply send the studies which you want to be audited to 4 Ways Healthcare and we will allocate the studies to the appropriate tertiary centre specialist radiologists for a comprehensive audit.
4 Ways Healthcare has the most extensive audit experience of any teleradiology provider in the UK. We have collated extensive and clinically valuable data from auditing our own radiologists and we take great pride in sharing this data and our analysis with the wider radiology community. We know from our own experience that regular clinical audits and feedback to reporting radiologists can greatly improve reporting precision for individual clinicians and drive up reporting standards across the whole organisation.
Clinically relevant or clinically significant discrepancies which are discovered in audit are highlighted dynamically and alerted immediately to the client coordinator. If the radiologists being audited disagree with any of the audit findings then there are processes in place to facilitate discussion of particular cases with the auditor, this also provides the opportunity for learning. Once the audit is completed 4 Ways will provide a comprehensive audit report with statistical analysis.
4 Ways’ specialist auditors attend quarterly clinical governance meetings where they receive feedback to ensure they maintain their high standards of clinical excellence. Our audit services are overseen and continuously reviewed by 4 Ways Healthcare’s Medical Director and Clinical Lead.
