Top Radiology Information Systems (and How to Improve Them)

According to Forbes, healthcare in 2022 is trending towards a more personalized patient experience, embracing digital technology (including telehealth and cloud-based systems), and leveraging machine learning for better service. 

Knowing this, it’s crucial now more than ever for radiology and imaging practices to adopt measures that will enhance their radiology information systems to help streamline work and prepare for these shifting trends.  

One way to do that is to work with a company like CCD Health. CCD Health is the leading medical contact center for outpatient healthcare providers, offering exceptional patient and customer experiences. We work with the biggest radiology and imaging practices in the United States.

We can integrate with your existing RIS through automated reporting downloads to help bring a more personalized scheduling experience to your patients. 

Benefits of integrating CCD Health with your radiology information system

As a brief overview, a radiology information system (RIS) is an electronic management system used by imaging departments. If you choose to integrate with CCD Health, we’ll assess your RIS licensing. The typical RIS licensing allows us to help streamline scheduling by:

• Accessing patient files
• Viewing reporting to audit and optimize scheduling
• Helping with order entry
• Searching patient records

And more! At the end of the day, you’ll gain a streamlined process and centralized scheduling system. You can reduce manual patient scheduling processes with this integration.

The exact nature of how CCD Health can help improve your radiology and imaging business’s patient scheduling depends on the RIS. By integrating your scheduling with CCD Health, we will help you maximize your profits and machine utilization by creating optimal patient scheduling, easily accessible patient records, and more. 

We work with a wide variety of radiology information systems to streamline scheduling. Here are some RIS providers that we integrate with well.
