Trauma Use Case

An Automobile Accident Victim Arrives

Trauma patients arrive in Emergency Rooms at all times, and in various numbers. In some cases, such as for automobile accident victims, the ER clinicians require access to patient image data almost immediately after the patient undergoes scanning (MRI, CT, CR), and then several clinical specialties may be called upon in order to make the right diagnosis in a timely manner, independent of the location of any clinician.

Speeding Up Treatment

By having distributed access from any device inside or outside the hospital, ER clinicians can tap into full-fidelity image data in minutes, including the requisite analysis tools, at any location during their normal workflow or even from a remote location. In some cases, the speed of providing treatment for trauma patients directly influences mortality rates. Furthermore, the ER clinicians can request second-opinions directly via their wireless/mobile devices with other clinicians, without having to transfer to another device or application.

Support of Clinical Workflows

Technology from Medical Insight enables access to image and patient data across an enterprise and within any type of workflow, and utilizes wireless and mobile access methods. As such, the EasyViz solution from Medical Insight plays a vital role as a complement to PACS and EMR systems that provides such systems with complete mobility.
