vRad onboarding team implementing The vRad Platform for a radiology practice

Onboarding and Implementation on The vRad Platform

Change the Platform.
Keep Your Practice Running.

A platform transition puts reading workflows, turnaround times, and radiologist productivity on the line. vRad has been onboarding radiology practices and facilities since 2001, and every implementation is planned around keeping all three intact from kickoff through go-live and beyond.

The experience behind every implementation

  • 25 Years

    Integrating radiology practice operations, since 2001

  • All Major

    PACS and EMRs integrated, including Epic via FHIR

  • 24/7

    U.S.-based technical and hardware support

  • SOC 2 Type II

    Certified for Security and Availability

  • 150,000+

    Imaging devices connected to The vRad Platform

White-glove onboarding and support on The vRad Platform
Why the Transition Is Different Here

Software Companies Implement Software. We Do It While Keeping Your Practice Reading.

The vRad Platform was not designed by a software company imagining how a radiology practice operates. vRad is a radiology practice. Our radiologists read on The vRad Platform every day, and our implementation team has connected thousands of imaging facilities to it over 25 years.

A Practice-First Approach to Onboarding
Watch: White-Glove Support

How Onboarding Works

A Process Built From Thousands of Implementations

No outsourcing here. You get an experienced vRad implementation team from kickoff through go-live. Every implementation runs on a written project plan, led by a dedicated vRad Client Implementation Manager who will hold weekly touchpoints.

Discover and design stage icon

Discover and Design

Before anything is configured, we learn how your practice reads today: how a case moves from order to signed report, every PACS, RIS, EMR, and modality in scope, and who covers what. This becomes the design the integration team builds against.

Build and verify stage icon

Build and Verify

DICOM routing, HL7 orders and results, EMR and FHIR connections, historical priors, worklist and report configuration, and vRad-supplied workstations, all configured and verified facility by facility before anyone goes live.

Train, launch, support stage icon

Train, Launch, Support

Radiologists, technologists, and administrators trained on their own workflows, then a soft go-live ahead of the switch. Real-time support on launch day, a daily check-in, and a formal handoff to your account team backed by 24/7 U.S.-based technical and hardware support.

EMR, RIS, and HL7 integration with The vRad Platform

Orders in, results back, data flowing. HL7 interfaces for orders, results, and ADT patient demographics are built and tested by vRad interface analysts before a single study routes through them. Where your EMR offers it, FHIR integration gives radiologists a real-time snapshot of patient data inside the imaging timeline. With CDA (Clinical Document Architecture) radiologists have a view into the EMR right from the case.

Historical data and prior studies migrated to The vRad Platform

Priors ready on day one. Historical patient data is onboarded before go-live so relevant priors and prior reports are available to your radiologists from the first case, not weeks later. Prior images and reports retrieve automatically from facility PACS, and prior report summaries are organized by anatomy and pathology so the relevant finding is one click away.

Radiologist workstations and DICOM routing configured for The vRad Platform

Plug-and-play, calibrated, supported. vRad supplies and deploys reading workstations configured for The vRad Platform, with calibration and compliance monitoring. All updates, maintenance, and repairs are covered. DICOM routing from every modality and PACS in scope is configured and verified for each facility before go-live.

Security and business continuity on The vRad Platform

SOC 2 Type II, from the first connection. The vRad Platform is SOC 2 Type II certified for Security and Availability, and every integration is built inside that environment. Each facility connects over VPN, modalities can be configured with a backup send path if a facility PACS goes down, and documented downtime procedures keep orders, images, and reports moving during a planned or unplanned outage at either end.

What Go-Live Looks Like
With a Team That Does This Every Day

vRad Operations Center team providing go-live and 24/7 support

Radiologists, technologists, and administrators are trained on their own workflows in the two months before go-live, then run them during a soft go-live period ahead of the switch.

On-site or remote support for radiologists, technologists, and staff; workflow guidance and issue resolution; rapid escalation for anything urgent; a daily check-in call to review progress.

For the first two weeks after go-live your implementation team remains your primary contact. Then your Client Implementation Manager runs a formal handoff to your Area Director and Account Manager.

24/7 U.S.-based technical support is standard. The optional 24/7 Operations Center adds live clinical and order support so radiologists keep their eyes on images.

The implementation playbook runs through the second quarter after go-live, reviewing case routing, templates, and configuration against what your practice data shows.

Radiology Platform Implementation FAQ

A radiology platform integration onto The vRad Platform moves through seven stages: project planning and kickoff; discovery and design across clinical, technical, and operational needs; technical integrations including DICOM routing, HL7 orders and results, and EMR/FHIR connections; workstation deployment; radiologist, technologist, and administrator training; operational and facility readiness checks with a soft go-live; and go-live with monitored support followed by a formal handoff to account management.

The most common risks to a go-live date when implementing The vRad Platform are an incomplete project plan, facility contacts who are unresponsive or unaware of the change, forgetting to give notice to the current vendor, scope changes after kickoff, ADT and HL7 specifications that are hard to meet, and unforeseen equipment needs. A large radiologist roster can also extend training. vRad’s Client Implementation Manager tracks each of these in a shared, real-time project dashboard from week one.

During go-live on The vRad Platform, expect real-time support for radiologists, technologists, and staff (on site or remote), workflow guidance and issue resolution as cases route through the new system, rapid escalation for anything urgent, and a daily check-in call to review progress. Go-live follows a soft go-live period, so the first live day confirms workflows the practice has already run rather than testing them for the first time.

vRad trains radiologists, technologists, and administrators on their own workflows before go-live. Radiologist training is comprehensive covering the worklist, viewer, dictation and automatic report formatting, support tools, and more; technologist training covers sending studies and order management; administrator training covers user administration, the Order Management System, and analytics dashboards. Training is scheduled in the two months before go-live and continues through the soft go-live period.

After go-live on The vRad Platform, the implementation team stays as your primary contact for two weeks while workflows stabilize. Your Client Implementation Manager then holds a formal handoff call to your Area Director and Account Manager, who become your day-to-day contacts, backed by 24/7 U.S.-based technical support. The implementation playbook continues through the second quarter after go-live, reviewing case routing, templates, and configuration against practice data.
