StatRad, a leading provider of premier, around-the-clock teleradiology services, responds to the evolving needs of the teleradiology industry offering unparalleled customization and quality.

StatRad began providing after-hours teleradiology coverage in 1995. Since that time, advancements in technology, along with a decreased number of radiologists nationwide and a tumultuous economy have changed the imaging needs of radiology groups and hospital staffs.

"With more financial strain being placed on the healthcare system every day, radiology practices must continue to reevaluate their processes and become as efficient as possible," said Joe Moock, StatRad COO. "StatRad not only offers premier teleradiology services but also streamlines report transmission, integration into existing hospital systems and allows our clients to utilize our systems to achieve the same efficiencies we do."

StatRad`s stringent industry standards, board-certified radiologists and sub-specialty experts allow clients to be confident in after-hours coverage. The company is also able to provide both preliminary and final reads for clients.

"Our trauma and ER physicians needed a provider that could do final reads at night," said Ryan Olsen, Chief Administrative Officer of University California, Irvine, department of radiological services. "Very few companies in the marketplace are doing final reads to improve patient flow as well as speed up the process in terms of treatment."

For groups and hospitals that do not have their own picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and supporting technology, StatRad makes it possible for them to take advantage of their proven technologies and systems to remotely transmit and read images.

"We had previously been with a large, national nighthawk service but the error rate was unacceptable. We began looking elsewhere for an alternative," said Dr. Dave McAninch of Lompoc Valley Medical Center. "We chose StatRad because of their unique business model and incredibly easy-to-use client interface. Their radiologists are prompt, thorough and accurate."

StatRad`s dedication to meeting client needs and focus on support services is evident in its client retention rate. "We work with StatRad on our nighttime preliminary reads and our experience has been excellent," said Dr. Steven Sorenson of Coastal Radiology. "If there are ever any complaints or concerns, they address them immediately and are available at all times. They`ve offered to drive out and answer questions first-hand…just extremely responsive to our
needs."
