Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Life & Work
Veterans who receive care from both VA hospitals and community providers would no longer face delays caused by mailing physical CDs and DVDs of their X-rays and MRIs. Real-time image sharing means faster diagnoses, fewer repeat scans, and less time spent waiting for records to transfer between facilities. Veterans who split care between DoD and VA systems (such as recently separated service members) stand to benefit the most from seamless data exchange.
“improve health care delivery and quality by addressing the increased costs, delays, and patient burden of repeat images caused by the couriering of compact discs and DVD-ROMs as the primary mechanism for sharing patients' medical images in the continuum of care”
