Home reporting can help tackle backlog

Fujifilm medical informatics sales specialist Paul Newman and Cwm Taf University Health Board clinical director Dr Balan Palaniappan.

Working in close partnership with UK PACS customers, the Fujifilm Synapse team says it has developed a practical and efficient home reporting solution to tackle the problem of reporting backlogs.

The latest installation is now operational at Cwm Taf University Health Board and is reportedly recognised by radiologists there as a key tool to delivering a sustainable and cost-effective improvement in service.  Clinical director Dr Balan Palaniappan said: “Innovative solutions such as home reporting are an effective and practical way of delivering an increase in reporting capacity, while at the same time offering working flexibility to radiologists.  In my view, it could transform how we work as radiologists.

“The increased productivity, cost savings and flexibility that home reporting offers will be vital to us at Cwm Taf as we embark on new ventures such as The Diagnostics Hub, Early Cancer Diagnosis Pathway Development and supporting the new radiology academy in Wales.”
