MACHESNEY PARK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Experity, the national leader in on-demand healthcare solutions, announced the newest enhancement to its teleradiology overread services, an integration which incorporates artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist radiologists in reading x-ray images. This AI technology allows for a more comprehensive view of imaging services for fracture detection, by identifying subtle abnormalities that may not be indicated by a patient’s medical records or may have otherwise been overlooked.
The radiology-specific AI algorithm detects fractures in images, which a radiologist then reviews to determine the accuracy and next steps for patient care. AI in Experity Teleradiology supports timely results and more precise care for patients, while saving clinical staff time fostering a more efficient diagnostic process.
“Experity’s teleradiology services provide patients with faster turnaround times and more precise care. Clinics save time and reprocures, while providers can trust that results from X-Ray reads are being reviewed by board-certified radiologists,” said Dr. Ron Boucher, Chief Medical Officer, Teleradiology at Experity. “Adopting AI as a part of our teleradiology overread services helps augment the radiologist’s tasks by pinpointing suspect areas to focus on in a X-Ray, enabling quicker X-ray Interpretations so clinics can treat patients more effectively and efficiently.”
Dr. Ron Boucher shared his thoughts on the future. “AI will not replace radiologists; however, radiologists who do not embrace AI will likely be replaced.”
This integration provides AI-assisted overreads for radiologists, further improving Experity’s leading industry turnaround times, with 99.94% accuracy rates, and real-time access to specialists to interpret images. Radiologists remain essential to the overread process to review the scans after AI completes its algorithm driven identification process. On average, overreads are completed 10-15% faster with AI, with improvements in quality of up to 40%. Implementing this AI-powered technology enables enhanced accuracy, increases confidence in diagnosis, saves time for both clinic staff and patients, and improves clinic satisfaction and outcomes, ultimately providing better care for the patient.
As the leader in urgent care teleradiology services, this technology implementation strengthens Experity’s mission to enhance service offerings by utilizing AI. Last year, Experity established its position as an industry leader by acquiring OnePACS, a SaaS PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) platform purpose-built for teleradiology. The addition of OnePACS enabled Experity teleradiology to offer a complete technology-enabled service solution to its urgent care partners across the country.
“As a trusted partner and solution to over 50% of the U.S. urgent care market, Experity is relentlessly focused on delivering the most accurate, efficient, and innovative technology solutions for our clients,” said Dr. David Stern, Chief Executive Officer at Experity. “This AI integration supports our mission of helping clinics deliver quality and efficient care, further emphasizing the timeliness of scan reads and positioning our organization as a market leader in new technology adoption.”
