| Reduce wait times: Have radiologists read from home |
| Three years ago, Alan Melton, MD, stopped making the 110-mile commute from his home in West Hartford, CT, to his job as an assistant clinical professor of radiology at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center in New York City.
Using a broadband Internet connection, securely armed with two firewalls and multiple virtual private networks to protect the data, Melton began reading cases in his home office on a fully equipped digital mammography workstation.
Now, 36,600 cases later, it's safe to call this experiment in telemammography a success. |
