Overnight leadership doesn’t happen overnight

Imaging Partners Online was established in response to a national and international shortage of radiologists and increasing demands for after-hours radiology. Almost 5 years later, IPO reports over 4,000 urgent CT scans every month and leads the way in measuring quality and service levels.

In the first month of operations in 2007, with only one afterhours client, Imaging Partners Online
reported 19 urgent, after hours CT scans.

IPO now reports over 4,000 urgent CT scans and 40,000 routine examinations every month for some 80 hospitals and clinics across Australia and the UK.

While a lot has changed at Imaging Partners Online after almost 5 years, there are some things that haven’t changed. True to its founding principles,radiology reporting at IPO is always performed in dedicated reporting centres and always in the radiologist’s normal waking hours.

Now with fully equipped and staffed reporting centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, London and Leicester, IPO ensures that reporting is performed in an environment and a time-zone that gives
the best chance of a quality radiology report.

Regardless of location, all IPO radiologists are FRANZCR and registered in all Australian states. Multiple sites in multiple countries also provide important system redundancy.

At any given hour of the day or night, up to 6 IPO radiologists and a team of Quality Assurance and IT staff is dedicated to reporting every urgent case in the shortest possible time. Quality is measured and maintained through an extensive peer review process, an initiative that has been embraced by IPO’s 50+ radiologists.

‘We’re proud of what we have achieved’ says Founder and CEO of Imaging Partners Online, Bob Sheraton, ‘but I think we’re entering a new phase. The ability to provide a quality 24x7
reporting service is no longer in question. The ongoing challenge for us is to find new or better ways to integrate with our client hospitals and in doing so, lead the way in adding value to our clients.’

It’s all in the timing…

Imaging Partners Online provides urgent, off-site reporting for over 70 hospitals and clinics and has been running its ‘around the clock’ service for over four years. Its unique workflow and in-house developed IT has been honed to ensure that every study is reported to a high standard and in the shortest possible time. A rigorous peer review and quality assurance program reinforces that quality and timeliness are equally important at Imaging Partners Online.
