TAMPA, - NetDirector, a cloud-based data exchange and integration platform, has expanded their healthcare data-trading ecosystem by partnering with DocPanel, a digital community of highly-skilled subspecialty radiologists who provide radiology interpretations for both healthcare providers and patients.
With a shared vision founded on providing exceptional patient care and leveraging technology to increase interoperability in healthcare organizations, DocPanel and NetDirector have moved forward with their partnership to increase the ease of deployment and level of integration available to both DocPanel, and the healthcare providers that they engage with.
DocPanel's network of over 300 board-certified, highly distinguished radiologists across 41 states and academic institutions provide unparalleled specialization. NetDirector's cloud-based integration-platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) model will make specialty care more rapidly accessible and easier to leverage for the providers who are directly servicing the patients by handling the complex integrations and variety of systems that are ubiquitous in the world of modern day medical imaging data.
"DocPanel was built to make it possible for imaging providers to receive the best possible radiology interpretations available, no matter where they are," states Cate Lloyd, COO of DocPanel. "By partnering with NetDirector, together we will make that world-class service easier to access and more cost effective and interoperable for both the initial provider, and the participating radiologist, ensuring sustainability and availability for all participants," she continued.
DocPanel is initially utilizing NetDirector's HealthData Exchange to receive digital orders from customers and return diagnostic results back to its ecosystem of Imaging Centers. NetDirector allows them to fast-track onboarding of new trading partners and significantly reduce IT resource overhead to maintain a multitude of data interfaces. They are also looking to potentially expand services by utilizing NetDirector's new DICOM image converter to automate the inclusion of PDFs to DICOM directly into the radiologist's reading protocols and eliminate on-premise licensed software.
Additionally, NetDirector's new Health Data Monitor (HDM) makes the whole integration environment easier to monitor and maintain compliance than ever before. Network participants are notified of delays or connectivity concerns in real time through the HDM dashboard and can respond as needed or engage with their dedicated integration analyst who are domain experts in healthcare workflow and integration technologies.
"Partnering with DocPanel is very exciting - they are at the forefront of their industry, much like we are," said Harry Beisswenger, CEO of NetDirector. "Being able to provide a strong and secure integration solution, while simultaneously reducing costs, ensures that the amazing services provided by DocPanel's team of radiologists can be accessed in a simple and straight-forward way."
