  • 1.  Reliable telerad service

    Posted 07-26-2021 10:18

    Good morning.

     

    Would anyone be willing to share the name of a reliable teleradiology service who can handle overnight ER volume as well as some overflow non emergent work in the daytime?  We are losing confidence in our current provider who performs final reads for us. 

     

    Thank you very much!

    Linda

    Hi Linda,

    We've had similar discussions as a group, considering a new telerad service for the same scenarios. Our current telerad provider provided a high level update on their situation, as we've seen poor performance on their end in regard to report turnaround time, availability, etc. Their update indicated that there is an industry wide issue with increase in volume coupled with summer vacation time and the shortage of Radiologists. It all made sense given our experiences locally as well. 

    I'd be curious to hear what others are experiencing as well.

    Good Morning!

    Our group is experiencing the same issues with our current provider. We too have been told it is an industry wide issue. Our group is also having the conversions of either adding an additional provider or changing entirely. I too would be interested in knowing what groups are not experiencing these issues and what provider you are using. 

    Thank you.
