Radiology plays a fundamental role in health systems because of its significant contribution to patient diagnosis and continual treatment. It\u2019s the starting point that will influence the way that the patient will move through the different forms of medical attention that he or she will receive in their treatment, and as such is a key component of providing value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a specialty shared in all of the levels of service\nprovision and all of the pecialities that encompasses high-level hospital\nmedicine, primary health care research, detection and healthcare promotion\nactivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diagnostic radiology offers value in clinical evaluations\nby perfecting diagnoses and lab work results, which reduces the amount of time\nneeded to begin the correct treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, radiology departments also have the potential to\nbecome bottlenecks in any healthcare environment when they lack the resources\nthat the new treatment ecosystem demands, given that this ecosystem is\nincreasingly connected and focused on patient results, which additionally helps\nto reduce costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct implementation of digital technology, such as\nin the area of radiology and imaging, contributes to completely transforming\nhealth systems due to updates and improvements in systems and solutions that\npermit data-gathering from a variety of sources, such as hospitals, doctors\n\u2018offices, consumer apps or connected devices, among others; this data are\ntransformed into processable, varied and relevant patient information that can\ngenerate value in medical treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Value-based medical treatment has become an increasingly\nimportant concept, used to improve patient results without raising costs. The\nvalue-based medical treatment model focuses on promoting the adoption of\npractices that optimize the relationship between earned health and costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create value in this context, radiology needs new\nclinical IT solutions that allow for the simplification the management of\nmedical images while driving quality, fostering collaboration, optimizing\nworkflow and diagnostics, as well as delivering greater patient satisfaction\nand cost reduction. As such, it\u2019s vital to allocate sufficient radiological\nresources so as to achieve or maintain the efficiency of medical treatment and,\ntherefore, maximize value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing workflows through advanced solutions contributes\nto the workload being shared equally between radiologists and different sites.\nMonitoring, managing and analyzing radiology workloads contributes to\nidentifying bottlenecks or problems with some types of tests and offers\nsuitable scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An optimized radiology workflow makes it\npossible to establish specific response times for obtaining critical results\nfrom diagnostic tests through markers that allow providers to know when it\u2019s an\nurgent matter, or through a real time collaboration. Improving the workflow of\nimages and collaboration can have a significant impact on value-based metrics,\npatient lives and the final results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radiology platforms that permit teamwork enrich the path\nof precision diagnoses, multidisciplinary treatments and making wise decisions\nwhile preparing for a surgical procedure. Remote visualization systems also\nallow links to be shared with radiologists or doctors outside the hospital\nthrough mobile devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of last year Philips\npresented the first command center for radiology operations that allows for\nremote collaboration in real time to expand the experience among technicians, radiologists\nand imaging operations teams in multiple locations. The digital technology\ndeveloped by Philips helps maintain business continuity, increases the\nradiology department\u2019s productivity in health institutions and minimizes the problems\nwith image quality, expanding the access to the advanced diagnostics of MRIs\nand CT scans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it becomes easier to access treatment\ndata more easily, radiology will continue to expand its impact on patient care,\nranging from prevention and diagnostics to treatment and recovery. With the\nright tools, a radiologist could well become an integrator and an analyst of\ncritical clinical data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
