New teleradiology solution promises to streamline enterprise imaging operations
A new partnership is on track to bring about an artificial intelligence-enabled teleradiology platform that promises to streamline enterprise imaging operations.
Konica Minolta and NewVue, a provider of cloud-based radiology workflow solutions, announced their collaboration this week. The duo said they would soon be launching Exa Teleradiology to connect radiologists and other providers across a vast enterprise imaging network of facilities.
Exa Teleradiology provides organizations with an AI-powered Radiology Workflow Orchestrator that automates work lists and automatically formats data, reducing the amount of manual labor required of readers and IT staff and streamlining the process of sharing patient data. It offers multiple enhancements to image viewing and manipulation, including 3D generated reconstructions and segmentations.
The cloud-based solution also provides readers with an advanced suite of viewing and reporting tools aimed at enhancing peer review processes, discrepancy management, communications of critical results and technologist quality improvement initiatives.
In an announcement, Chief Operating Officer for Konica Minolta Healthcare HCIT, Kevin Chlopecki, said the cloud-first solution was designed to address the growing demand for teleradiology services with “unmatched workflow orchestration, performance and clinical value.”
“We are jointly collaborating on a unique offering that enhances the radiologist’s experience with a consolidated Radiologist Cockpit designed for productivity and ease-of-use in teleradiology settings,” Chlopecki said.
“By integrating with Konica Minolta, we’re giving teleradiology groups a smarter desktop that helps combat burnout and staffing shortages,” added Kyle Lawton, co-founder and CEO of NewVue. “Radiologists get a faster, more intuitive workspace—making it easier for practices to attract, retain and empower top talent.”
This move comes as numerous reports shared over the last year have indicated that more than half of organizations are looking to migrate their image data sharing away from legacy archiving systems to streamline the continuity of care for patients.
