CriticalKey Helps Imaging Centers Attract More Referrals

In the hypercompetitive imaging market, offering a distinctive solution like CriticalKey can give you just the edge you need to build business. With KeyEngine technology, imaging centers can electronically receive orders and return results directly into the patient record of the ordering physician’s electronic medical record (EMR) system. The technology delivers a major leap forward in convenience, ease of use and increased efficiency, for both imaging centers and referring doctors.

One more $625 MRI scan ordered a day, five days a week for 50 weeks, could bring in an extra $156,250 a year.

Choosing CriticalKey Is Smart and Cost-Effective

CriticalKey provides the most flexible and complete solution for connecting providers to improve performance and relationships right away

We’ve developed the only HIPAA compliant, standards-based HIE software with an integrated Master Patient Index. A Master Patient Index, which identifies patients and matches them with their records, is quite costly when acquired separately but is essential for ensuring the accurate exchange of information while preserving patient security and privacy. Our technology also has a locator capability, which can find patient data in any system using CriticalKey.
We’re eminently scalable. We can connect any information systems. We handle millions of transactions and users, and we can connect an unlimited number of providers. We deploy on time within days and can add new users to an existing system overnight.
We build the solution that suits your needs. We preserve legacy systems instead of replacing them. Our technology can work in a closed loop, sending orders and receiving results. Or it can be deployed in one direction, such as receiving orders only. We can aggregate to facilitate mandatory reporting. And we make our technology available as a cloud service or install the software on your own servers and manage it for you.
