“…The Scottish study was a prospective evaluation (n = 143) of quality of service in referrals to neurosurgery using PACSs and remote viewing. 81 The authors explained that low caseload could not support subregional neurosurgery units in Scotland. Hence, nearly all acute neurosurgery referrals were made by unspecialized providers.…”

Introduction: Radiology was founded on a technological discovery by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. Teleradiology also had its roots in technology dating back to 1947 with the successful transmission of radiographic images through telephone lines. Diagnostic radiology has become the eye of medicine in terms of diagnosing and treating injury and disease. This article documents the empirical foundations of teleradiology. Methods: A selective review of the credible literature during the past decade (2005-2015) was conducted, using robust research design and adequate sample size as criteria for inclusion. Findings: The evidence regarding feasibility of teleradiology and related information technology applications has been well documented for several decades. The majority of studies focused on intermediate outcomes, as indicated by comparability between teleradiology and conventional radiology. A consistent trend of concordance between the two modalities was observed in terms of diagnostic accuracy and reliability. Additional benefits include reductions in patient transfer, rehospitalization, and length of stay.

“…The following 4 papers align with this model: Wade et al [18] presented a qualitative study of ethical, medico-legal, and clinical governance matters in Australian telehealth services; Sutton considers a Picture Archive Communication System and diagnostic imaging service delivery from the UK perspective [20]; Bagot et al [21] performed a qualitative analysis comparing with the experience of Australia and the United Kingdom in integrating acute stroke telemedicine consultations into specialists' "usual practice"; and Crocker et al [19] address patient safety and image transfer between referring hospitals and neuroscience centers, exploring possible methods of improvement.…”

“…The bottom-up strategy may grow out of local needs [18,20], and sometimes it is picked up and transformed into a national top-down strategy. For instance, Crocker et al [19] claim that "Part of the remit of the National Programme for Information Technology in the NHS (NPfIT) was to improve neuroscience teleradiology." The researchers wanted to evaluate whether their experiences were part of the national top-down strategy; so the paper describes how the medical society experienced their recommendations presented in an NHS report from 2004 being "largely ignored" in the national program.…”

Background Large-scale national eHealth policy programs have gained attention not only for benefits but also for several unintended consequences and failed expectations. Given the complex and mixed accounts of the results, questions have been raised on how large-scale digitalization programs are governed to reach health policy goals of quality improvement and equal access along with necessary digital transformations. In this qualitative systematic review, we investigate the following question: How is governance implemented and considered in the studies included in the qualitative review? Objective The aim of this study is to arrive at informed and recognizable conceptualizations and considerations of models of governance connected to eHealth, as presented and discussed in the scientific literature. In turn, we hope our results will help inform the discussion of how to govern such processes to obtain collectively negotiated objectives. Methods A qualitative systematic review is a method for integrating or comparing with the findings from qualitative studies. It looks for “themes” or “constructs” that lie in or across individual qualitative studies. This type of review produces a narrative synthesis with thematic analysis and includes interpretive conceptual models. The goal is an interpretation and broadens the understanding of a particular phenomenon. We searched the PubMed database using predefined search terms and selected papers published in 2010. We specified the criteria for selection and quality assessment. Results The search returned 220 papers. We selected 44 abstracts for full-text reading, and 11 papers were included for full-text synthesis. On the basis of the 11 papers, we constructed four governance models to categorize and conceptualize the findings. The models are political governance, normally depicting top-down processes; medical governance, which normally depicts bottom-up processes; the internet and global model, emphasizing international business strategies coupled with the internet; self-governance, which builds upon the development of the internet and Internet of Things, which has paved the way for personal governance and communication of one’s own health data. Conclusions Collective negotiations between the nation-state and global policy actors, medical and self-governance actors, and global business and industry actors are essential. Technological affordances represent both positive and negative opportunities concerning the realization of health policy goals, and future studies should scrutinize this dynamic.

Patient safety and image transfer between referring hospitals and neuroscience centres: could we do better?

Abstract: Image transfer in neuroscience has been neglected following the shift to PACS servers. The recommendations of the 2004 Neuroscience Critical Care Report are unmet and patient safety is being threatened by a continued failure to implement a coordinated solution to this problem.
