Consider how often patients are asked to have medical imaging studies performed and reviewed. Although the patient is the one who is getting the image, the sub-specialists and doctors analyzing the images are the ones who are consuming the image studies.
When a patient arrives at a hospital or urgent care facility who has potentially suffered from a stroke, a CT scan is performed for evaluation. Lots of healthcare providers don't have a stroke specialist on-site, so they make the CT scan available for a specialist at another location. Baptist Health Lexington needed an imaging solution that was not only reliable, but was easy to access.
Purview makes storage and sharing of medical images easier than ever. With Purview, you no longer need to worry about carrying bulky folders full of medical images or CD’s from doctor to doctor. Purview allows patients to electronically share their medical images with the best health care providers throughout the country. The ease with which patients can store, immediately access and share images ensures they will receive the best care possible from their doctors.
Co-founder and general manager Phillip Jackson discusses Purview's ease and convenience, including:
Purview makes it easy to share your medical images with millions of the best health care providers across the United States. By electronically storing your medical images with Purview, you can designate any of the 3.9 million health care providers in Purview’s database to access your images.
This means you no longer need to carry sets of film or CD’s with you to the doctor. It eliminates the risk of images being lost or damaged. Instead, electronic storage with Purview makes it easier than ever to share your images with your health care provider so they can provide the best care possible.
Think about the last time you had X-rays taken. You probably left the imaging center carrying a bulky folder filled with images.
