Arizona Regional Network and Banner Healthcare



Phoenix, Arizona – Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center has initiated the EMDTransfer System for patient transfers into their healthcare system. "I believe EMDTransfer offers technology that will greatly improve patient care.  Having a fast and reliable way to view and receive studies transferred to us is helpful and is in the patient's best interest" Dr. John Ferrara, MD Director of Trauma Services at Good Samaritan Level I Trauma Center.



The EMDTransfer systems ability to disseminate digital images securely to any receiving physician, medical center or free standing facility in the world and additionally allowing the physicians to consult via the internet simultaneously, all with HIPPA compliance; we are markedly improving the current archaic transfer method of information via CD and allowing the much needed collaboration of physicians between facilities.



Benefits include:

-Streamlining operations (clinical and general; Decreasing bottle necking effect in the ED and decrease through put times)

-Financial (reduction in duplicative testing/decrease in denials for unneeded tests (by CMS/Managed Care/Indemnity)

-Patient satisfaction (decreases door to OR time; thus improving patient outcomes and overall satisfaction)

-Risk Management Tool (allowing the sending physician to discuss study with receiving physician prior to transfer)

-Reduced Radiation exposure and thus decreased cancer risk

-HIPAA Compliant

-Compatible with all EMR/PACS  

We at EMDTransfer are striving to reduce cost to the healthcare system and the patient by reducing the ill-advised patient transfers, decreasing morbidity and mortality by streamlining the patient transfer process thus reducing radiation exposure and cancer risk through digital image sharing.
