Overview

Today, radiology is the fastest-growing sector of healthcare at well over $100 billion dollars annually and a yearly growth rate of 20%. As a result, healthcare facilities are seeking solutions that allow them to ensure appropriate high-cost exam ordering, more efficiently deliver results, improve communication between physicians, and analyze years of data to improve the practice of radiology. Moreover, they are looking for ways to harness the power of existing IT infrastructures.

Dictaphone solutions improve the day-to-day tasks of every professional involved in the interpretation and delivery of diagnostic imaging exams: the referring, technologist, radiologist, and administrator. As a result of this closed-loop radiology environment, healthcare providers are increasing productivity and improving patient care while at the same time saving well over $200 million dollars annually.
