Full Service

If you require imaging interpretations for all of your procedures or interpretations, for only your sub-specialty or afterhours exams, we will commit to improving your efficiency and reduce your overall expenses. We deliver FINAL REPORTS 24/7 for your benefit and through our internal Radiologists. This provides physicians with a complete picture of the diagnosis and most appropriate treatment the first time. Ultimately, this reduces call-backs and readmissions which secondarily benefits patient care and improves physician and patient satisfaction.

Quality

Our comprehensive QA process randomly assigns internal cases to our radiologists for them to internally review. This allows for a randomized assessment of report accuracy within our group and ensures we are continually improving and maintaining the utmost quality amongst our radiologists.

Specialty Focused

Our goal is to deliver a specialized read on every case that our company reads. To accomplish this, we have developed an efficient manpower model that ensures our radiologists focus on their area of expertise. Therefore, a large volume of our advanced imaging is read by a radiologist with a fellowship and/or subspecialization in the area. This translates to:

  • Superior patient care
  • More complete and accurate results
  • Efficient turnarounds

24-Hour Coverage

Our enhanced model delivers the most comprehensive sub-specialized after hours care available. What that means:

  • Interpretations are NEVER outsourced
    • We have a dedicated subset of "afterhours only" radiologists that are fellowship trained or subspecialized in ER Radiology
  • Stroke Coverage – Close coordination with technologists results in the most rapid and appropriate treatment with an IT system built to target and flag these cases for our radiologists
  • Rapid turn-around-times
    • Median afterhours turn-around is <18 minutes.

Internal PACS and IT Specialists

DIA employs its own specialty PACS and IT specialists to oversee our robust infrastructure and imaging platforms. Images are received and sent via a secure, encrypted VPN connection. This ensures that the entire patient data transmitted is HIPAA compliant.

We have established connectivity with over 200 hospitals, imaging centers, and clinics across the country, in both urban and extreme rural settings. We have extensive experience with integrating numerous PACS, RIS and EMR systems. This has given our IT team a level of expertise parallel to some of the largest teleradiology companies in the country.
