vRad’s Industry Leading Protocols and Turnaround Times

We strive for practice excellence and quality patient care which means appropriately prioritizing patient studies and producing industry-leading turnaround times.

Our innovations for improving turnaround time performance and efficiency include:

• Patented workflows
• Custom urgency levels for stroke and trauma cases
• Unique processes for critical findings and radiologic protocol inquiries
• Our 24/7/365 U.S.-based Operations Center team members — who allow our radiologists to concentrate on the patient by minimizing operational distractions and performing administrative tasks

To help ensure we get the right study to the right radiologist in the shortest amount of time, we have developed custom urgency levels and protocols.  vRad’s protocols are designed to quickly identify and escalate critical studies so they receive top attention, allowing for quick turnaround time — essential to quality patient care.
