Teleradiology is now a well-settled practice at worldwide level.
In this webinar, exclusive for Affidea staff, we will explore the benefits and concerns as well as share the best-practice Guidelines.

The global digital revolution of the XXIth century naturally extended to Medicine and Teleradiology is now a well-settled practice at worldwide level.

Despite the benefits of Teleradiology, concerns have risen about developing teleradiology services within safety and high-quality standards.
To help the radiological community through this evolving process, the main organizations have developed comprehensive best-practice Guidelines with well-defined standards of procedures.

Several considerations must be taken into account: from clinical-core related considerations, to technology solutions, legal aspects and the need for monitoring quality and safety longitudinally, along with business’s contracting and financing matters.

In this webinar, these issues will be addressed while exploring the 15-year-old Portuguese model, with the perspective of ultimately ensuring that on-site, traditional Radiology practice’s hallmarks may be kept a reference also for Teleradiology, with the goal of a single, high professional standard of patient care, enhanced by the possibilities of the digital era of modern Medicine.
