Standard #6:
Proactively call ordering physician at the time of diagnosis for all critical findings 

If there is a critical finding, we don’t just report it, we will contact you.

The need to reliably complete and document enhanced communication of critical findings is a regulatory requirement and is essential to facilitating timely patient treatment. Failure to communicate critical findings is one of the most common drivers of malpractice risk in radiology, but managing urgent communication workflow is very challenging without automated solutions for reporting.

Radisphere’s reliable process for reporting critical findings:

  • Ensures that direct contact is made with the referring physician when there is a critical finding
  • Integrates client-specific escalation procedures to assure timely communication
  • Employs closed-loop communication and a time-stamped log to verify and document results

With Radisphere, the medical staff can be confident they will hear from us quickly and directly if there is a critical finding.
