Telerad Tech, a new company in the healthcare IT space started by Telerad Solutions, recently launched RADSpa, its next generation radiology platform.

Telerad Tech has partnered with Ashva Technology, a Chennai-based company, in developing this revolutionary product. The platform was showcased earlier at the Annual Meeting of the Radiologic Society of North America (RSNA 2009), held in November in Chicago.

RADSpa is a web-hosted radiology platform that can be accessed from anywhere in the world by radiologists, physicians, technicians and hospital administrators. Its main role is to optimise the functioning of radiologists and increase the efficiency of the process of interpretation and analysis of x-ray, ultrasound, CAT scan and MRI images.

Given the global shortage of specialist radiologists to interpret lifesaving diagnostic images, and spiralling healthcare costs, a workflow tool like RADspa is of critical importance in today's environment. It reduces costs, improves the quality of diagnosis and thereby enhances the level of patient care.

As RADSpa is a web-based platform, it allows for teleradiology, a revolutionary process wherein scan images can be transferred across the globe, so that a scan performed in Boston can be interpreted within minutes by a radiologist in Bangaluru. This allows for immediate diagnosis in the high-risk emergency setting.

"It is our mission to develop technologies that improve workflow within the healthcare organisation," said Ricky Bedi, CEO of Telerad Tech, which has Telerad offices in the USA and India.

Diagnostic efficiency, accuracy and reliable patient care can only be achieved with seamless collaboration and communication between radiologists, technologists, physicians and other stakeholders, as is provided by the RADSpa platform, said Bedi.

The RADspa platform is a fully-integrated RIS and PACS platform. Its key differentiators are an intuitive and customisable work-flow for the radiologist, automated work-flow for multi-site, multi-modality radiology and tele-radiology reads, automated re-conciliation of order and images ensuring data-integrity, and collaboration eco-system to communicate with peer radiologist, physician or MT in real-time.

Collaboration supports real-time sharing of images and work sessions, audio and messaging. In addition, the platform has an intelligent auto scheduler to do auto assignment of studies to radiologists based on their specialty and sub-speciality. This feature not only enhances the productivity of the radiologist, but also results in reducing reporting times resulting in improved quality of care.
