USTeleradiology, as a nighthawk provider, will take over the responsibility of radiology at night and allow your radiologist to sleep at night. A well-rested radiologist is more productive, has fewer misses, and is willing to stay in a position with less night call.
The following factors should also be taken into account when considering outsourcing radiology needs:
15% of all health care in the US is provided by the ER
Up to 40% of hospital admissions are through the ER
Imaging in the ER is growing at 20% a year
Increasing complexity of studies requires dedicated, trained Radiologists for interpretations
Hospital Administrators, ER Doctors, the ACR, and Payors are demanding prompt response for the interpretation of studies
