A peer and image quality-review solution seamlessly embedded into the radiologist reading workflow for hospitals, imaging centers or radiology groups.

Intelerad® Medical Systems, Intelerad Medical Systems, a leader in medical imaging PACS, RIS and workflow solutions, today announced its new embedded Peer Review solution to be demonstrated at the RSNA 2011 annual meeting, from November 27 to December 1st in Chicago, Illinois.

Following the example of the American College of Radiologists (ACR), requests to carry out a peer review are presented to radiologists within their regular reading and reporting workflow. Radiologists are requested to conduct a peer review when they open a prior study case that has been flagged for review, or they have the option to complete it at a later point in time from their peer review worklist. Organizations can set peer review quotas per radiologist that pertain to the specialty and qualifications of the radiologist. Complete with a customizable scoring system, Intelerad Peer Review ensures anonymization for radiologists so that reviews can be completed without bias.

"Intelerad's Peer Review helps organizations significantly raise the bar on quality," said Rick Rubin, Chief Engineering Officer. "Our solution is innovative and full-featured. Review discrepancies can be flagged in the system and notifications are dispatched based on severity to enable quick and effective response. Quality-focused organizations can also conduct benchmarking and other important initiatives for superior imaging and results."

The Intelerad Peer Review scores are accessed through a web portal and the solution can be included with Intelerad's IntelePACS®, InteleOne®, or InteleSuite™ products. Intelerad Peer Review can also be integrated into third-party reading environments.

For increased reporting accuracy and time savings, the information in HL7 fields can now be auto-inserted into report templates, eliminating the need for radiologists to re-dictate information in the final report.

"We continue to focus on workflow automation and improving the personalized experience in order to boost radiologist productivity," said Rick Rubin, Intelerad Chief Engineering Officer. "Our goal is to increase radiologists' reading speed and comfort, enabling enhanced productivity and accuracy."

Demonstrations will take place at RSNA 2011: Intelerad booth #4053 Hall, A.
