For over 70 years, Insight Medical Imaging has provided state-of-the-art medical imaging services to the city of Edmonton and its surrounding areas. Having started out as a smaller, hospital-based imaging organization, Insight has grown significantly over the past 10 years, following their move from film to IntelePACS.By leveraging Intelerad’s award-winning solution, the imaging group has been able to implement a more effective workflow, with radiologists able to greatly increase productivity and reduce turnaround times on reports. Part of these efficiency gains came from IntelePACS’ ability to transfer images across locations, which allows Insight to balance workloads across the organization, leading to greater operational efficiency.“IntelePACS has had a positive impact by putting the information that radiologists need at their fingertips so they can serve patients as quickly as possible,” said Andrew Batiuk, Insight’s IT manager. “The solution has also enabled us to be more productive without increasing staff, so we can serve a greater number of patients while increasing our productivity.”Deploying IntelePACS has also helped Insight expand their reach to rural areas. An example of this would be the complete diagnostic imaging center they opened in Fort McMurray, located 280 miles north of Edmonton. The studies are remotely read by Insight’s Edmonton based team and the images and report results are promptly available to the referring physician.
