Studycast plays a pivotal role in Healthscan’s ability to scale. The team performs an average of 10–12 imaging studies per site per day, compared to the 6–8 typically seen at most clinics. Studycast’s cloud-based system ensures that images load faster and that reports can be read from anywhere, which is key to Healthscan’s ability to perform a high volume of exams.
“I can send ten nuclear cardiac images to Studycast in less than a minute, where other solutions require tunnels and ports, and it takes that same data five minutes,” Cash said. “If we can eliminate five minutes per patient, that’s over an hour of our day.”
With such an easy-to-use system, training and retention is improved too. “Training is a lot easier,” Cash explains. “In today’s world we’re in a very high-turnover state, and with Studycast being so user-friendly, staff get a grasp of it within the first few weeks.”
That’s because key features like an EMR integration that builds a worklist for the modality (even with mobile units) minimizes manual data entry. With Studycast, “it usually takes a stress tech three minutes to document the study, just having everything readily available: drop-down boxes, referring physicians already tagged to it,” Cash said.
Studycast has become so integral to Healthscan’s delivery model that Cash describes Healthscan’s services as a “package deal”—bringing not just imaging, but a proven, scalable workflow solution wherever they go.
“We’re constantly utilizing Studycast,” Cash says. The cloud-based platform has enabled seamless transitions between clinics, centralized reporting, and remote admin support—even across EMRs like Epic and Athena. “We can walk it up to the line so the physician just has to click a button.”
