Twelve questions provider organizations ask most about automated prior retrieval: how it works, how patient data stays protected, and how to opt in.
Disparate silos of patient data create significant administrative, operational, and clinical gaps. The inability to exchange medical images, reports, and orders often causes care delays, repeat scans, provider dissatisfaction, and patient friction. Healthcare workers waste valuable time searching for imaging and retrieving prior scans using antiquated tools like CDs, faxes, and VPNs.
Medicom Smart Search automates the process of gathering relevant prior imaging exams for treatment planning and diagnosis, alleviating the need for staff to manually request them from outside organizations.
