WE'RE A LOCALLY OWNED COMPANY.
OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF SERVING
THE COMMUNITY.
WE PROVIDE COMPA -- COMPREHENSIVE
OUTPATIENT DIAGNOSTIC.
John: HOW IS OUTPATIENT
RADIOLOGY DIFFERENT FROM IN
PATIENT.
THEY CAN EITHER HAVE IT DONE
AT A HOSPITAL OR OUTPATIENT
CENTER SUCH AS THIS.
OUTPATIENT IMAGINE PROVIDES A
COMFORTABLE, MORE RELAXED AND
ACCESSIBLE OFFICE TYPE
ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE PATIENT
CAN GO TO.
SIMILAR TO GOING TO THEIR
SOMETIMES YOU GO TO THE
HOSPITAL, IT CAN BE A BIT OF A
HASSLE.
PARKING CAN BE AN ISSUE.
AND NA NAVIGATING AROUND THE
HOSPITAL CAN BE CHALLENGING.
IF YOU'RE NOT FEELING WELL OR
YOU BRING A LOVED ONE THAT
TO THE CHALLENGE.
OUTPATIENT IMAGING WE'RE MORE
ACCESSIBLE IN THAT RESPECT.
AND COST SAVINGS.
A LOT OF PATIENTS DON'T KNOW
THIS BUT HAVING A STUDY DONE AT
A HOSPITAL COST MORE THAN HAVING
IT DONE SA AT A OUTPATIENT SERVICE
SUCH AS THIS.
INSURANCE COMPANIES CAN BILL
DOUBLE OR MORE FOR THE SAME MRI
AS COMPARED TO HERE.
THAT COST IS TRANSFERRED TO THE
PATIENT.
SO FOR EASE OF ACCESS AND
POTENTIAL COST SAVINGS, HAVING
IT DONE AT AN OUTPATIENT CENTER
IS BETTER TO DO.
John: THANK YOU.
VERY INFORM INFORMATIVE.
I ALSO HAVE HAD MANY MRIs.
THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION
OUTS THERE.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OPEN MRI,
AND THE OPENING IS WHERE THE
TABLE GOES IN AND OUT OF.
IN THE OLDER MACHINES, THEY WERE
60 DEPUTY METERS.
IF YOU HAD AN MRI IN THE PAST
AND YOU 82 YO FELT YOUR NOSE WAS
ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE MACHINE,
THERE'S A LOT OF ANXIETY.
THOSE MACHINES ARE STILL USED
OVER HAWAI'I AND MAINLANDS AS
WELL.
THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE WITH THE
NEWER MACHINES.
TECHNOLOGY HAS A 70-CENTIMETER
BOARD.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE HERE AT
MORE COMFORTABLE FOR THE
PATIENT.
LES CLOGS TRA PHOBIA.
YOU CAN LISTEN TO MUSIC?
MRI, SOMEBODY HAS QUESTIONS
AFTER THEY'VE GOP THROUGH, HOW
DO YOU HELP THEM OUT?
PATIENTS CAN ALWAYS GET A
COPY OF THEIR REPORT AND IMAGES
AT HDRS, WHICH HAVE A SECURE
ONLINE PATIENT PORTAL.
THE PATIENT CAN LOG IN AND GET
ACCESS TO THE IMAGE AND REPORT
AT ANY TIME.
WE HAVE OUR RAIDOLOGISTS IN
HOUSE.
MAYBE YOU'RE AN OLDER PATIENT
WHO HAS A CONCERN ABOUT CANCER.
MAYBE YOU'RE A BASEBALL PITCHER
WHO RECENTLY INJURED HIS ELBOW,
THERE'S QUESTIONS.
AND PATIENTS DON'T LIKE TO WAIT
TWO, THREE, FOUR DAYS TO GO BACK
AND SEE THEIR DOCTOR FOR
ANSWERS.
IF THEY WANT TO COME IN AND TALK
TO USER WE US, WE'LL GO OVER THE IMAGE
QUESTIONS.
