RadHelp, LLC and Montage Healthcare Solutions Announce Collaboration Agreement

Radiology Group will Provide User Support and Training on Use of Search and Analytics Software
CANTON, Ohio - Nov. 26, 2014 - PRLog -- Syed F. Zaidi, MD, President of Radiology Associates of Canton (RAC) and Chief Executive Officer of RadHelp, LLC announced today his group has entered into a collaboration agreement with Montage Healthcare Solutions, Inc. RadHelp will provide user support and training on the use of MONTAGE™ Search and Analytics Software. “We are excited to align with Montage Healthcare Solutions and help our colleagues understand the vast resources available to them through the use of data mining.”  Dr. Zaidi believes that “the process of data mining radiology reports has been found to be the most effective method for finding patients that may require timely action.  The process is reliable, repeatable and robust.”  The use of radiology data mining reduced length of stay by as much as 3 days for some inpatients recommended for CT biopsy, according to the results presented by Dr. Zaidi in his talk at the inaugural Montage User Group meeting.

“I feel RAC’s and RadHelp’s use of data mining and analysis is a powerful demonstration of the opportunities for radiologists to demonstrate and quantify their value in care delivery,” said William Boonn MD, President of Montage Healthcare Solutions, Inc. “It’s an equally powerful demonstration of how increased value becomes a competitive differentiator.”

“We feel strongly that our patient-centered radiology and co-management model adds significant measurable and lasting value to the healthcare delivery value chain and fits in well with the American College of Radiology Imaging 3.0TM initiative,” said Syed Zaidi, MD. MONTAGE™Search and Analytics allows RAC and RadHelp to provide high quality patient-centered radiology services while lowering costs.  Shifting Volume to Value through outcomes analytics positions RAC to be the leader in the development of a value-based payment model for radiology.  Working with our colleagues and clients in the field of radiology to demonstrate and decipher MONTAGE™ Search and Analytics will also allow Radiology Associates of Canton to evaluate clinical outcomes and develop quality metrics.  Dr. Zaidi believes “together, with Montage, we can replicate results, reduce length of stay and costs while developing a value-based payment model for radiology.”
