NW ImageShare improves patientcentric health care BY JOHNNY WALKER FOR SOUNDPUBLISHING INC.
For those looking at healthcare providers to improve patient care, reduce the need for duplicate radiological imaging and lower overall healthcare costs, a big step forward has arrived in the form of a leadingedge software service called Northwest ImageShare by Sectra. Led by Harrison Medical Center in partnership with other regional healthcare providers, the new service boasts an entirely new level of patient-centered care. Described as “groundbreaking” by Harrison Medical Center Chief of Staff Glen Carlson, M.D., Northwest ImageShare enables participating physicians to securely access a single database containing patient medical images throughout the region. The improved access saves time, reduces duplicate radiological exposure, and lowers costs. “We are always trying to do what’s right for the patient,” said Dr. Carlson, “and integral to providing good care is to have access to medical history. It is vital to have access to all of the patient’s relevant medical images

Harrison Medical Center Chief of Staff Glen Carlson, M.D., calls Northwest ImageShare a groundbreaking improvement for patient-centered services, resulting in more immediate and higher quality care for patients.
at the same time so that we can look for change.” When a patient’s medical image isn’t available because it was originally taken and maintained by another healthcare group, delays in comparing images or the need for duplicate radiological imaging is likely to occur. The result unnecessarily increases radiological exposure to the patient, can delay critical treatment and always increases costs. In emergency care, the challenge is
even more pronounced when patients are rapidly transported to other hospitals with special expertise. Northwest ImageShare solves that problem by giving participating physicians centralized access to a patient’s entire, available, imaging history. Using a picture archiving and communications technology known as PACS, Northwest ImageShare regionalizes the secure transmission, storage and distribution of medical images through an internet “cloud” service, and provides centralized data analysis and billing through the same integrated solution. This means that healthcare providers using Northwest ImageShare can immediately access the medical image history of their patients through a desktop computer, tablet, or hand held device, even when the study was originated by another radiological group. In the instance of Northwest ImageShare, the centralized database is hosted and maintained by Harrison Medical Center, lowering overall management costs. To the patient, the technology results in faster and more efficient patient care. “The technology to share imaging isn’t new,” Carlson said. “What’s groundbreaking is the
collaboration to overcome all of the security, privacy and disparate economic requirements of the different radiological groups. With the leadership of Harrison Medical Center combined with Dr. Glen Carlson Sectra PACS technology, we now have the ability to share imaging with an increasing number of radiological groups in a way that satisfies patient, business and regulatory requirements.” Founding healthcare providers participating in Northwest ImageShare include Harrison Medical Center, Advanced Medical Imaging, Olympic Radiology, and The Doctor’s Clinic.
