The demand for radiology reporting is rapidly increasing in conjunction with more stringent treatment targets, budget requirements and working time initiatives being put in place. Meeting this demand consistently is becoming more of a challenge for radiology departments across the UK. Recruiting locum radiologists can be a lengthy and costly process and does not provide a long term solution to a lack of capacity.
4 Ways Healthcare’s routine reporting service is designed to meet these demands by maximising the latent reporting capacity in the UK. We use innovative systems and technologies to improve patient outcomes and help our NHS and private partners meet the ever increasing pressure put on their radiology departments.
The routine reporting service is designed to support the clinical activities of radiology departments between the hours of 08:00 and 20:00. Our service is also designed to be the best; we are the first teleradiology provider to be ISAS Accredited and have the most stringent audit and clinical governance programmes. This service has proved to be invaluable to many NHS trusts.
