Case Study: Partners In Health achieves 100% image transfer reliability and faster CT upload times with Intelerad (InteleShare)

Partners In Health Streamlines Global Transfer of Medical Images

Partners In Health, the global health non-profit operating the University Hospital in Mirebalais, Haiti, faced unreliable VPNs, frequent internet outages and a highly manual Dropbox-based workflow that delayed transfer of medical images to volunteer radiologists in Boston. Intelerad stepped in with its InteleShare solution to address these operational and connectivity challenges.

Intelerad configured InteleShare to replace the VPN/Dropbox process, add HL7 messaging and optimize image compression, resulting in a 100% image transfer success rate and reducing 600-slice CT upload time from 3 minutes to 1 minute. These improvements have accelerated turnaround for reads (about 400 CT studies/month), allowed the hospital to scale its services for a staff of 700+ and 1,000+ daily visits, and freed time and resources to focus on patient care.
