UNASSIGNED: In our study, a total of 22,081 studies of a cohort of 14,900 patients which had been transmitted from intensive care units of 80 hospitals located across the United States of America through a teleradiology reporting workflow, were interpreted by the American Board Certified Radiologists empanelled by a teleradiology service provider, located in India.
UNASSIGNED: Among all modalities, the highest percentage of studies performed were computed tomography scan (47%) followed by radiographs (37.22%). Out of 22,081 cases under the study, 16,582 cases were reported during nighttime with a mean turnaround time (TAT) of 46.66 minutes 95% CI (46.27-47.04) while 5,499 cases were reported during daytime with a mean TAT of 44.66 minutes 95% CI (45.40-43.92).
UNASSIGNED: Setting up teleradiology service connectivity with a teleradiology service provider located in India, providing high-quality diagnostic interpretations and lower turnaround time with the ICUs in the US hospitals reduces the interval to intervention time and leads to efficient patient care management. Moreover, it also provides time advantage for US hospitals when on-site radiologists at night are unable to provide immediate coverage.
UNASSIGNED: The ICU teleradiology service model designed in the study would greatly help overcome the shortfall of radiologists in the hospitals, provide better patient management and care by quality reporting in short turnaround time, not only during daytime but also in the night hours or on holidays when on-site radiologists are unable to provide immediate coverage.

■在我们的研究中,总共22,081项研究,涉及14,900名患者,这些患者是通过远程放射学报告工作流程从美国各地80家医院的重症监护病房传播的,由远程放射学服务提供商加强的美国委员会认证放射科医生解释,位于印度。
■在所有模式中,进行的研究比例最高的是计算机断层扫描(47%),其次是X光片(37.22%).在研究的22,081例病例中,夜间报告了16,582例,平均周转时间(TAT)为46.66分钟95%CI(46.27-47.04),而白天报告了5,499例,平均TAT为44.66分钟95%CI(45.40-43.92)。
■与位于印度的远程放射学服务提供商建立远程放射学服务连接,为美国医院的ICU提供高质量的诊断解释和较低的周转时间,缩短了干预时间的间隔时间,并实现了有效的患者护理管理.此外,当夜间现场放射科医师无法提供即时承保时,这也为美国医院提供了时间优势.
■研究中设计的ICU远程放射学服务模型将大大有助于克服医院放射科医师的不足,通过在短时间内提供质量报告,提供更好的患者管理和护理,不仅在白天,而且在夜间或假日,现场放射科医生无法立即提供保险。
