| Our mission is to develop software that helps
medical practitioners work more efficiently, improve
their professional skills, and ultimately provide better
quality patient care. To that end, we have developed two
major applications. The first is the Image Flow
Radiology Information System. The second is the qcMed
Peer Review and Follow Up Tracking system. |
|
| Image Flow |
|
| Image Flow is a powerful, comprehensive information
management system for radiology practices and
departments. It
integrates every function that you need to run your
entire practice into a single system, including patient
information, scheduling, order entry, EMR, film
tracking, mammo recalls and BIRADs reporting, digital
dictation and
transcription, automated report delivery, billing,
internal messaging, document scanning, security
auditing, a complete PACS interface, and so much more. |

qcMed |
|
qcMed is a web application designed to help medical
practitioners improve their professional skills. It has
two main components: Peer Review and Follow Up Tracking
|
Peer Review
|
Peer Review is an important component of a medical
practice's ongoing effort to ensure quality management
and professional skill development. However, many
practices neglect to implement a peer review process
because it is onerous, time consuming, and difficult to
administer. qcMed allows a practice to implement peer
review process as part of your regular reporting
workflow, with almost no effort.
While reporting a
current study, a physician regularly reviews the prior
reports and films that are relevant to the current
study. qcMed takes advantage of the fact that you are
doing this review anyway. It simply plugs into this
process and presents a simple dialog prompting you to
perform a peer review of the previous report, using a
standard scoring system. The peer review is done in a
matter of seconds and you continue on with your current
reporting.

Follow Up Tracking
|
|
How many times have you been reporting a study and
recommended further follow up at an outside facility
because you see a suspicious finding, but you never find
out the results of the follow up study. As a result, you
are not able to determine if your original diagnosis was
correct. qcMed allows you to flag the study for follow
up. It will be added to a list of studies that a clerk
in your practice can review on a daily basis. He or she
will get the results of that follow up study from the
performing institution and add it to your follow up case
file. qcMed will then send you a notification email so
you know there is new data to review. You log onto qcMed,
view the results of the follow up study, and compare it
to your original diagnosis. This allows you to improve
the quality of your reporting, because next time you see
the same type of finding you will know whether or not
you were right the first time. As the final link in the
feedback loop, qcMed allows you to add this case to a
personal teaching file in Brightsquid, an online
collaboration application that you can use to share
information with your professional colleagues. |
