Nov. 24, 2009--Insight Health Solutions (IHS) (www.insighthealthsolutions.com), a provider of risk management and quality improvement software solutions for the health care industry, announces the availability of RadiologyInsight, its automated peer review management system that streamlines the process and procedures that impact radiologist workflow and regulatory compliance measures.
RadiologyInsight exceeds the American College of Radiology physician peer review requirements for accreditation, and is the only statistically valid peer review system that assigns overreads to qualified physicians by subspecialty. Built to provide a full quality system for radiology, its electronic review and management process dramatically simplifies workflow and reduces total review steps to as few as four mouse clicks to improve physician compliance.
"RadiologyInsight has helped our radiologists to comply with the ACR-mandated peer review process," says Dr. Jonathan Movson, assistant professor at Brown University School of Medicine and radiologist with Rhode Island Medical Imaging in Providence, R.I. "The fact that the studies are randomly generated and that radiologists are only asked to review studies within their area of expertise adds a level of integrity to the system that did not exist previously. The time required to perform an overread has also been significantly reduced. These two factors have improved the degree of radiologist compliance with the peer review process."
Leveraging IHS' extensive quality expertise, RadiologyInsight is designed to meet evolving compliance requirements from the Joint Commission and anticipated "meaningful use" standards through full integration with the QualityInsight product suite. This addition will allow healthcare organizations to produce physician profile reports for evaluation, feedback, and reappointment processes in support of the Joint Commission's Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) requirements.
RadiologyInsight is customizable to the specific organization, and enables a flexible and random overread selection process that allows managers to choose the percentage of qualified exams to be read, select who to assign them to (specific individuals or pools of radiologists), and implement 100 percent overreads if necessary. The web-based system uses an HL7 interface data feed and allows for integration into the hospital information system in organizations with and without a PACS.
