If you're in Radiology, unprecedented changes in Standards and Scrutiny Are Heading Your Way.
State and Federal legislation. Changes in Medicare Reimbursement for CT scans. And now, increased scrutiny and stricter standards for Radiology and Imaging from the Joint Committee on Accreditation. All layered on top of an upcoming deadline for Meaningful Use Reimbursement in September. Are you aware and ready for the Big Three?
We are hearing from a number of our clients—particularly Critical Access Hospitals—that they believe the upcoming NEMA Standard XR-29 deadline of January 2016 (when Medicare penalties for CT scans that don’t meet the XR-29 standards kick in) does not apply to them.
Unfortunately, based on current information, there is no indication that this is correct. We’re all waiting for additional clarification, but postponing the decision to upgrade for too long could place your hospital or your free-standing imaging clinic in jeopardy of getting hit with the Medicare penalties.
Ringgold County Hospital maintains a dynamic and varied schedule of radiology services, including mammograms and ultrasound to X-rays and CAT scans and more. To keep up with these broad and continually evolving needs, Ringgold required a modern PACS solution that provided on and off-site access to their radiology studies, robust storage and recovery, and radiology workflow support.
After both an online and face-to-face demo facilitated by CSI's Radiology and Imaging Consultant, the Ringgold team determined that Avreo interWORKS had all the functionality the hospital needed, plus the advantages that would make their Radiology and Imaging department highly progressive at a price that was extremely affordable.
Lower Complexity. Lower Cost. Better Patient Outcomes. That's CSI.
