Imaging centers and radiology groups are faced with the demand of providing HL7 interfaces at unprecedented rates. The rising demand stems from an operational objective to streamline workflows and a revenue objective to efficiently establish productive relationships with referring physicians. What approach is necessary to effectively meet these objectives in a radiology interfacing environment?

In this study, we explore the advantages and disadvantages of two primary approaches to interfacing—point-to-point and interface engine. Discover insights on the most effective approach for healthcare interfacing in a radiology environment and its long-term impact on physician referral, workflow efficiencies, costs and client support.
