Teleradiology Services offered from NWR

The time is right for healthcare systems and onsite providers to embrace teleradiology. Northwest Radiology (NWR) has another NWR – Night Watch Radiology®.   Night Watch Radiology® is Northwest Radiology Network’s answer to teleradiology imaging services 24-7-365.

In order to deliver quality teleradiology services, NWR utilizes industry-leading information systems. NWR’s infrastructure is built to maximize uptime, transmission time and 24-7-365 availability. Through our PACS network, NWR can obtain images, interpret images, and quickly send a final report. Images and reports are available to registered clinicians for viewing in real-time online.   Additionally NWR can interface this information back into facilities’ clinical information systems.
 
Teleradiology provides peace of mind and addresses quality of life issues for the onsite radiologist. Peace of mind that their community will receive high quality radiology services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Having 24/7 coverage allows an onsite radiologist to have a much improved quality of life. NWR radiologists are available for consultation any time and can call STAT final reports upon your request. 
There are many advantages for healthcare facilities and hospitals to utilize teleradiology services as economics and reform continue to place pressure on reimbursement for imaging services. Healthcare facilities and hospitals must supply high quality, sub-specialized final interpretations to maintain current patient levels or risk losing them to services provided by a larger health care system.
