Addressing Unmet Needs
Research studies and surveys have demonstrated that patients are interested in having direct access to their imaging reports.2
Surveys have shown that patients are dissatisfied with historical methods of receiving results, would like access to full radiology reports, and prefer to receive their results from a portal than from their physician.3,4
Radiology reports designed for patients.
Interactive, patient friendly radiology reports generated with plain language explanations of medical images and phrases, full color illustrations, and interactive diagrams which are created by board certified radiologists. On-demand patient access for new and historical reports in MyChart.
A paper published in 2023 showed that when given Scanslated generated reports, patients had reduced anxiety and confusion about imaging results, were better prepared for follow-up visits and felt empowered to participate actively in their care.5
In a peer-reviewed research study published in 2023, over 1000 patients were surveyed about their experience with Scanslated’s patient-friendly radiology report software. Patients felt better prepared for follow up visits (81%), had more productive conversations with their doctor (87%), had less anxiety about imaging results (70%) and better understood treatment recommendations (77%).5
A study published in August 2024 found patient feedback to be overwhelmingly positive and indicated that the Scanslated report may improve patient-centered outcomes in radiology.6
