Electronic Health Record (EHR) Integration

With the continuing rollout of meaningful use, many of our clients are pressing forward with their Electronic Health Record (EHR) implementations. We have helped many clients successfully integrate radiology-reporting services within their overall EHR framework.

NationalRad's reporting infrastructure is capable of integrating with any EHR using standard HL7 interfacing. Currently, we integrate with several prominent EHR, RIS, and PACS vendors, including GE, Athena, Philips, Intelerad and others. Contact our implementation team via email at IMPLEMENTATION@NATIONALRAD.COM or by phone at 877.734.6674 if you are interested in learning more about how NationalRad can integrate directly with your EHR solution.

New Paper in Neurology: White Matter Hyperintensities on MRI in High-Altitude U-2 Pilots

A paper by Stephen McGuire, MD, PAUL M. SHERMAN, MD, NationalRad Neuroradiologist, Assistant Professor of Radiology and Radiologic Science at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, F. Edward Herbert School of Medicine and Assistant Director of Medical Education and Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program Director at the San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium, and Leonardo Profenna, MD, et al. was published in Neurology in August. Entitled "White Matter Hyperintensities on MRI in High-Altitude U-2 Pilots", the study concluded that pilots with occupational exposure to hypobaria showed a significant increase in white matter hyperintensity (WMH) lesion volume and number. Unlike the healthy controls with predominantly WMH lesions in the frontal white matter, WMH lesions in pilots were more uniformly distributed throughout the brain.
