This is the way our guys handle these things as well.  We need only give them the disc so that they can (1) load the images onto the PACS and (2) put in an "official" order for radiology re-read of outside images.  When necessary, they will let us know when we need to re-scan or image the patient.

Our radiologist are happy to read them. Not sure if they dictate a
report but the important thing is that they discuss it with us on the
spot so the surgeon knows what is there ( in addition to the surgeons
own impression, of course)

Happy New year to all!

A quick one:

What do people do regarding transferred patients coming in with imaging
on CD and radiology refusing to read (cannot double dip, hence no pay,
hence no read)...

Do you rescan the patient only to have it now read by the happy
radiologist?...
Read the imaging yourself?...
Do you have a system in place where imaging from outside can be accessed
by your own radiologist, i.e. function on a same database system?...

thanks,

Joe
