title: Implementing teleradiology in a private radiology practice: lessons learned.
abstract: The private practice of radiology deals with the delivery of high quality, timely service to referring physicians. Technology offers the promise of supporting this objective through faster reading of studies through electronic imaging and the delivery of results in a fast, efficient manner. In order to be successful, the practice must clearly define its objectives, understand its fundamental business processes and select a technology solution that is proven to meet those objectives.
