The British Columbia Ministry of Health will use McKesson’s QICSTM for radiologist peer review in a pilot program to help modernize medical imaging processes and improve quality of care.
The Vancouver Island Health Authority will be first to roll out McKesson’s solution as part of the initial phase of the program, which includes more than 200 radiologists. In later stages, this provincial project will span a region that is 1.4 times larger than the state of Texas and involves radiologists reviewing more than 3.5 million annual exams.
McKesson QICSTM for radiologist peer review allows organizations to monitor the entire imaging review process and integrates with multiple picture archiving communication systems (PACS) to support cross-facility peer review. The pilot will demonstrate the ability for a case that is initially read by a radiologist at one health authority to be peer-reviewed anonymously by a radiologist located in a different location and on a separate PACS.
