medQ provides hundreds of practices and enterprises across the U.S. with customer centered, automated workflows that increase productivity, fit their exact clinical needs, and have a positive impact on patient care. Recent innovations in Radiology Information Systems (RIS) focus on improving workflow efficiency, integrating advanced technology like AI, and enhancing patient care.
Key developments include:
1. AI-Powered Automation
Many modern RIS solutions are integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline administrative tasks, such as patient registration and billing, which reduces the workload on staff and minimizes errors. AI-driven workload balancing ensures that urgent cases are prioritized and assigned to the most appropriate radiologists, enhancing diagnostic speed and accuracy. medQ’s intelligent, intuitive and rules-driven online scheduling and room management to simplify patient booking – making it fast and virtually error-free. medQ’s AI Navigator™ solution connects the reporting solution and the diagnostic AI program, allowing radiologists to drop AI-generated findings directly into the final report.
2. Cloud-Native Platforms
Cloud-based RIS systems are becoming the new standard. These platforms allow for flexible, remote work and seamless data exchange between departments, promoting better collaboration across healthcare teams. They also reduce hardware costs and enable practices to scale more easily. The Q/ris 3000™’s web-enabled architecture allows radiologists to read exams from any location at any time, creating a virtual radiology operation that significantly improves report turnaround time. Referring physicians can access their patients’ results and immediately see the reports and images.
3. Multimedia Reporting
Radiology reports are evolving from text-only formats to interactive multimedia versions. These new reports can embed key images and data, allowing physicians to compare images side by side and gain deeper clinical insights quickly. This feature is especially useful in complex fields like oncology, where monitoring patient progress over time is crucial. Accurate and timely reports are the essential deliverable of daily workflow in radiology practices. With the automation assistance of the medQ Q/ris Reporting PLUS+, reports are delivered quickly and accurately.
4. Telepresence in Image Acquisition
New innovations allow expert technologists to assist remotely with complex scans such as MRIs, ensuring high-quality imaging even at remote sites. This reduces unnecessary recalls and enhances image consistency across multiple locations. These advancements are transforming radiology practices by improving workflow, enhancing patient engagement, and facilitating quicker, more accurate diagnoses. medQ’s software solutions automate the workflow for diagnostic imaging helping clinicians and radiologists deliver high-quality, cost-effective care to patients. As a result of these benefits, medQ’s solutions can help teleradiologists to improve their productivity and reduce their workload. This can lead to improved patient care, as teleradiologists are able to provide faster and more accurate interpretations of images.
