Empowering Breast Image Screening and Diagnosis
Date: Tuesday, November 06, 2018
Time: 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time
Duration: 1 Hour
Summary
Join this webinar to learn how clinical IT tools can help overcome imaging workflow inefficiencies, maximize productivity, decrease report turnaround times, and ultimately support faster and more definitive diagnoses.
Overview
Radiologists have more breast imaging tools at their disposal today than ever before. Still, high patient volumes, large datasets and multi-modality image sources (from multiple locations) all combine to introduce workflow inefficiencies and put high demands on breast imaging operations. Learn how GE Healthcare empowers the role of the radiologist through high-performing IT infrastructure – in support of patient centric outcomes.

Replay this panel discussion of encounter-based care and how it is shaping Enterprise Imaging requirements across the care continuum. We compare ideas on how and where a Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) can help improve outcomes through more informed decisions at the patient’s point of care.
- How a VNA can help clinicians access comprehensive patient imaging history via an image-enabled EHR, and across multiple care settings
- How to design care area workflows and infrastructure to speed adoption
- How you can best apply and deploy these capabilities across a healthcare system
