Two major California children’s hospitals will implement 24/7 teleradiology services through Aris Radiology

HUDSON, Ohio (April 3, 2017) – Aris Radiology, a national radiology practice and leading provider of on-site and remote radiology services to hospitals nationwide, has been tapped to provide 24/7 pediatric teleradiology coverage to 302-bed Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford in Palo Alto, California, and 279-bed Children’s Hospital of Orange County in Orange, California.

Aris will provide both hospitals with around-the-clock access to its nationwide network of pediatric radiology subspecialists. Because Aris radiologists contract to progressive subspecialty service-level standards for turnaround time and clinical quality, the agreement will ensure timely delivery of diagnostic radiology reports while supporting the hospitals’ ongoing quality and performance improvement efforts. Aris is the largest pediatric teleradiology provider in the country.

With more than 250 radiologists who interpret an estimated 2.5 million studies annually across 300 client sites, Aris offers 24/7 access to one of the nation’s largest networks of subspecialized radiologists. The company also maintains a robust IT platform that helps increase the speed with which both attending physicians and patients receive results.

“As hospitals assume greater risk for their patients’ clinical outcomes and satisfaction, the need to partner with highly specialized and engaged radiologists has never been greater,” said Aris President and CEO Carl Kozlowski. “Aris understands that need and offers a demonstrated level of service that will support our partners’ efforts to continue raising the bar on quality and satisfaction.”
