What is Teleradiology?
Protek Health Informatics Inc founded for
evaluating radiological surveys, has started its
Radiology Evaluation Center service. In this
center the radiological examination requests of
the patients are evaluated by an emergency or
related specialization doctor through the health
establishment automation program. In the
provision of this service, the objective is to take
advantage of the knowledge and
communication technologies, to establish a
digital hospital concept, to alleviate the lack of
specialists in the area of medical imaging, to
offer consultation services in complex xases
and to ensure knowledge and experience
exchange between health professionals. The
forwarded images arrive automatically to the
receiving hospital’s imaging and reporting
workstation in accordance to the described
workflows, The consulting doctor examines the
image, writes the report and reaches it back to the sending hospital’s workstation.
By offering reporting services to points where
radiology specialists cannot be employed, this
system ensures the possibility to widen the
radiology service offer. In hospitals with a long
waiting time, the reporting system will shorten
the waiting times. When necessary, the files of
a patient who was screened at one corner of
Turkey may be examined by a doctor at
another corner.
With its service offer, Protek enables you to take advantage of knowledge and communication technologies.
