High quality
NightForce's after-hours teleradiology services meet the most demanding needs for around-the-clock, professional radiological analysis and reporting. The company is owned and operated by the same radiologists who read the images--American Board of Radiology-certified specialists with an average of
eight years of after-hours teleradiology experience.
RadRequest brings this level of professionalism to an even higher level through its convenient user interface and total information integration. Reports can be read by authorized users from any computer with Internet access, or automatically faxed to any number specified by the requesting party.
Technicians can easily add comments and/or a brief history to the online report; reports can also be simultaneously transmitted to multiple locations, e.g., a second hospital, radiology clinic, or at-home physician.
RadRequest's Quality Assurance capability also ensures that clients are receiving the service and results they expect. The platform's analytical tools automatically generate statistical information for quality assurance and regulatory compliance purposes. QA reports can be exported to Excel spreadsheets as needed, using filters that can isolate data according to date, doctor, or QA level.

NightForce after-hours teleradiology services are priced on a per-study basis, with no minimum fees and no setup costs.
