Six Major Radiology Centers Provide Diagnostic Images to Rochester RHIO
Rochester, N.Y September 10, 2009 – Physicians are now able to see radiology images—including X-rays, MRI, CT scans and Ultrasound—from six radiology centers in the Greater Rochester area through Rochester RHIO, the community’s regional health information organization.
Borg & Ide Imaging, Clifton Springs Hospital, Rochester General Health System, Rochester Diagnostic Imaging, Rochester Radiology Associates, and Thompson Health join Lakeside Memorial Hospital in providing radiology images to the RHIO.
Rochester RHIO allows authorized users to see patient information, including radiology images, at any time from any computer with a secure internet connection. Electronically viewing diagnostic images benefits doctors and patients:
- Fewer repeated tests
- Easy comparison of current and past diagnostic tests between organizations with a common viewing environment
- Less hand-carrying and tracking down hard-copy x-rays and images on CDs
- Faster second opinions
- Lower overall health care costs due to fewer duplicate radiology orders
- Creates a more complete picture of a patient’s health
