Using InteleShare\u2122, Disc Comfort has improved patient care by dramatically reducing the time spent loading and viewing patient CDs, providing immediate access to images prior to patient arrival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Intelerad is great for patient care because I always have information at hand for a more powerful, meaningful office visit. And it\u2019s great for the office \u2013 no more fumbling around with CDs. Finally, I can work from anywhere.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Dr. Daniel S. Yanni M.D., founding neurosurgeon and CEO<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<header data-os-animation=\"none\" data-os-animation-delay=\"0s\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instant Image Viewing<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<div data-os-animation=\"none\" data-os-animation-delay=\"0s\">\n<p>With a steady flow of patients seeking consultations on spinal disorders at Disc Comfort, Dr. Daniel Yanni saw an opportunity to improve efficiency. He was \u201cfrustrated that CDs were becoming a time waster, requiring five to ten minutes per visit.\u201d In some cases, loading viewers and studies would even take thirty to forty minutes, \u201ctypically patients have four MRIs of their neck and lower back, and all of the work to review these images was non-billable, non-reimbursable, and an absolute waste of time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We\u2019re trying to make the office as paperless as possible. With athena and Intelerad, I can log into both systems from anywhere and have complete access.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Dr. Daniel S. Yanni M.D., founding neurosurgeon and CEO<\/p>\n<p>Seeing an opportunity to transform efficiency, Dr. Yanni chose InteleShare to streamline the process, recalling that \u201cbefore Intelerad it was like working with one hand behind my back.\u201d After moving to Intelerad, \u201cnow my patients are registered with the application even prior to being roomed.\u201d Better yet, with instantaneous access to studies, Dr. Yanni has saved around two hours a day that was previously wasted managing and retrieving studies.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Image-enabled athenahealth<\/h3>\n<p>For Disc Comfort, athenahealth is an incredibly important part of the practice. Dr. Yanni wanted to take it a step further and image-enable his EHR. \u201cI wanted to log in from anywhere, pull up a patient, look at history, see their images,\u201d he noted, \u201cand to be able to log into athena, and access Intelerad studies, that\u2019s a huge win.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Transforming Patient Care<\/h3>\n<p>Immediate access to images, right from the EHR, has enabled Dr. Yanni to focus even more on patient care, sharing that, \u201cany time you have information at hand, the patient will benefit, and you\u2019ll have a more powerful, meaningful office visit.\u201d His patients value that their time with the physician is now focused solely on consultation rather than administration.<\/p>\n<h3>Anytime, Anywhere Access<\/h3>\n<p>On the go, Intelerad is proving valuable too. \u201cI work in half a dozen facilities, and I\u2019m back and forth between them a lot of the time, access to Intelerad enables me to get the information I need working from anywhere,\u201d said Dr. Yanni. And with Intelerad, ease of access even extends right into the operating room.<\/p>\n<p>Unlocking access to studies hasn\u2019t only helped Dr. Yanni, it\u2019s also helped him collaborate with a partner at another practice, providing frictionless image exchange between the two locations.<\/p>\n<p>And at the helm of a rapidly growing practice, Dr. Yanni is leveraging InteleShare to support growing Disc Comfort. \u201cSecond opinions are a huge opportunity for this practice, and to take the practice to the next level, Intelerad is a key player.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Physician founded private practice based in Newport Beach, CA.<\/li>\n<li>Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar spine procedures.<\/li>\n<li>Performing surgeries across 3 different local hospitals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spending 5-10 minutes per patient visit juggling with CDs.<\/li>\n<li>Multiple logins required to access patient images and medical records.<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty sharing images between Disc Comfort and nearby practice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transitioned on-premise CDs to InteleShare for storage and retrieval.<\/li>\n<li>Connected image management to athenahealth.<\/li>\n<li>Using InteleShare across multiple locations including hospitals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using InteleShare\u2122, Disc Comfort has improved patient care by dramatically reducing the time spent loading and viewing patient CDs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15566,"template":"","resource-category":[],"resource-type":[17],"class_list":["post-1799","resource-library","type-resource-library","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","resource-type-case-studies"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.2 (Yoast SEO v26.4) -
