Offers Significant Benefits for All Healthcare Constituents
SeeMyRadiology.com, a ground breaking medical imaging access, archiving and collaboration service benefiting patients, hospitals, radiologists and referring physicians regardless of affiliation, will be introduced at HIMSS 2009 in Chicago, April 5 to 8.

Imaging patients can utilize SeeMyRadiology.com to create their own personalized libraries of exams in a centralized location. Furthermore, they can share their images easily and securely with physicians of their choosing. Patients will enjoy full ownership of their digital medical images in a “media-less” environment with convenient access and built-in portability.

For hospitals and imaging businesses, SeeMyRadiology.com supports streamlined cross-enterprise image communication with other imaging businesses and referring physicians. This streamlined process eliminates the red tape of hardcopy image sharing and the time-consuming and cumbersome production of CD’s. The application integrates with any PACS and represents a major step towards the comprehensive electronic medical record (EMR) crucial to the new administration’s healthcare vision. Furthermore, SeeMyRadiology.com can be branded with an imaging site’s name to enhance recognition, while offering increased profits through a unique optional revenue sharing model. For physicians, whether specialists, family practitioners or radiologists, SeeMyRadiology.com provides anywhere, anytime access to patient medical images from any source securely and efficiently, without cumbersome CD’s or film. SeeMyRadiology.com’s strict adherence to security protocols eliminates the need for Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).

According to SeeMyRadiology.com pilot user, Phil Larkin, PACS Operations Manager for Ohio State University Medical Center, “We have already documented that SeeMyRadiology.com and its instant electronic image sharing played a key role in saving the lives of six patients. Without SeeMyRadiology.com, our clinicians would not have had access to critical medical images to make the appropriate clinical decisions. By gaining timely access to these images, we were able to significantly impact outcomes.”

“The field of medical imaging has made enormous strides over the past decade to move into a fully digital environment. Most providers and imaging businesses have deployed digital modalities and PACS, yet we still transfer films and CD’s between organizations and patients. By deploying SeeMyRadiology.com, the last link in the chain will be closed, and will provide all constituents – including patients – with a more comprehensive and efficient means of image access and sharing,” comments Willie Tillery, Co-Founder and AccelaRAD CEO.

Developed in collaboration with The Ohio State University Medical Center (Columbus, OH) and Piedmont Hospital (Atlanta, GA), SeeMyRadiology.com also includes a toolkit enabling seamless standards-based image integration with a full range of EMRs and personal health records (PHR) systems.

“Think about the transformation of personal photography during the past ten years. The market quickly progressed from 35MM film to digital images saved on CDs and PCs and has now evolved to Web-based image storage and sharing services,” comments Mike Youmans, Sr. Vice President of AccelaRAD. “SeeMyRadiology.com introduces that paradigm into medical imaging, and for techno-savvy consumers, the evolution is completely natural.”

“In most other medical specialties, patients are not asked to hand carry their exams from imaging facility to physician,” adds Tillery.“ The process is slow, awkward and prone to human error. Radiology has been stuck in media-dependant workflow for too long. Now, SeeMyRadiology.com has created a better way.”
