Radiology Reporting Services
Radiology Reporting Services
Ongoing recruitment and retention of radiologists and the drive to address delays in reporting, are key challenges for healthcare providers and clinicians, especially when it comes to reducing radiology backlogs to ensure patients are assessed, managed and treated in a timely way.
HealthTrust Europe (HTE) offers a radiology backlog solution; offering an OJEU-compliant framework agreement for radiology reporting that provides a compliant, rapid-access route to the capacity, skills and experience needed to eliminate the backlogs that can impact on patient care.
Free to access, the framework enables clinicians and healthcare managers to outsource routine, urgent and backlog reporting and clinical interpretation for plain film, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine and mammography, including the provision of urgent and out-of-hours services.
Committed to excellence
The framework provides 24-hour access to market-leading suppliers’ radiologists who hold FRCR or equivalent and have GMC specialist registration in radiology. All services are underpinned by robust clinical governance processes and are in-line with Royal College of Radiology guidelines.
A defined set of KPIs allow you to monitor reporting times effectively, reduce backlogs and drive improvements in current service and the framework is fully GDPR-compliant.
Features and benefits
The specification for this framework focuses heavily on the provision of a safe and quality-driven service underpinned by procedural best practice. It includes regular performance audits and KPI evaluations to enforce contract compliance, continuous performance improvement and, most importantly, development of excellent supplier/customer relationships over the lifetime of the agreement.
To maintain competitive rates, HTE provides services to identify best value opportunities for interested parties. Prices are fixed, split by modality, urgency of turnaround times and the quantity of regions or elements sourced.
The fact that the framework is OJEU-compliant, eliminates the need for a separate tendering process, saving both time and resources.
