On my second day of work I attended a meeting in Harrisburg where a lobbiest cited a statistic that two-thirds of the radiology readings from Philadelphia hospitals were read in India! It's called "nighthawking" and it is an increasingly common practice as american physicians insist on more regular working schedules.
This week I learned, through the Technology Council of Central Pennsylvania newsletter that two Pennsylvania based Radiology groups are no offering advanced radiology services to Pennsylvania hospitals and health care providers as an alternative to out of state and out of country groups. Quantum Imaging and Tristan Associates are offering a Pennsylvania-based teleradiology alternative.
This is just another illustration of the tremendous opportunity afforded by telemedicine. - wrr
