Uppsala University Hospital receives emergency assistance in reporting for Neuro cases

Uppsala University Hospital in Uppsala, one of the leading teaching hospitals in Scandinavia, ran into a major problem when some of their leading Neuro radiologists left to take on other job offers. With a sudden shortage of Neuro radiologists, the hospital experienced a backlog of cases and diagnostic waiting times increased substantially. The fact that patients were not being treated in a timely manner provoked anxiety in the patients and medical staff. This proved especially risky for patients with severe Neuro conditions like brain tumours.

Responding to the hospital’s urgent need, TMC set up and implemented an efficient workflow process in 2 weeks so that TMC’s sub-specialist radiologists could read and report Neuro cases for the hospital in fast turnaround time.
