Both Radiology and Labs Now Benefiting from CTRM; Vocada's Veriphy Gains Larger Role as Hospitals See Value of Critical Test Result Management Technology

A growing number of hospitals now are using Vocada's Veriphy critical test result management (CTRM) solution for both Radiology and Clinical Labs - another indication of growing acceptance of CTRM as a strategic pathway to higher staff productivity and enhanced patient safety.

DALLAS, TX (PRWEB) July 9, 2007 - A growing number of hospitals now are using Vocada's Veriphy critical test result management (CTRM) solution for both Radiology and Clinical Labs - another indication of growing acceptance of CTRM as a strategic pathway to higher staff productivity and enhanced patient safety.
   
As the industry-leading CTRM solution, Veriphy automates and verifies the communication of critical test results from reporting clinicians to ordering clinicians. The Joint Commission recognizes CTRM as an important advance for achieving the Commission's National Patient Safety Goals for improving communication among care-givers.
   
"Radiology departments initially led the way in adopting CTRM," said Thomas White, executive vice president and co-founder of Vocada, Inc. "Now that Veriphy Lab is available, as well, hospitals are opting for Veriphy for radiology and for lab."
   
Hospitals that recently have selected Veriphy as their CTRM solution for both radiology and labs include:
- St. Louis University Hospital
- Morristown Hospital (NJ)
- Newton-Wellesley Hospital (MA)
- University Hospitals of Cleveland

In addition, Darnall Army Medical Center, Fort Hood, Texas, has become the first military hospital to implement CTRM, choosing Veriphy Radiology as its CTRM solution.
        
All told, more than 130 hospitals nationwide have adopted Veriphy for CTRM, and the number continues to grow.
        
Recently, Joint Commission Resources, Inc. a subsidiary of the Joint Commission, produced an educational video and accompanying educational materials explaining the benefits of CTRM and how to get started. The Joint Commission's experts on patient safety see CTRM technology as an important advance in improving communication among caregivers.
