available on the NetworksMD platform.
Reduce IT and operational costs by integrating disparate sites to create a centralized þ
cloud-based PACS and report archive.
Real-time turnaround of information from point-of-care to the physician including þ
laboratory results, diagnostic imaging, and hospital reports increases treatment
velocity and avoids scheduling delays.
Facilitate consults easily with patients benefiting from better coordination of care þ

information result in a more complete indication. Teaching files can be updated with
a patient's future progress, resulting in a highly contextual and relevant case.
Teaching files can be permissioned for specific users, locations, institutions or þ
facilities; increasing access to critical decision support and mitigating costly
diagnostic errors.
Streamlines workflow by providing practitioners with on-demand access to vast þ
clinical knowledge and consult support. Users also have an efficient means to
publish and distribute clinical teaching files of their own.
