Viewing scans away from your main workstation
Remote image access changes where a radiologist works, not the need for careful review. Plan the viewing, reporting and communication steps together so cases do not lose context when they leave the main site.
Confirm the work setting
List the locations and devices that remote staff use, then test browser access with representative studies. Make sure the team knows which tasks are expected away from the main workstation and which need a local setup.
Preserve the reporting path
The worklist should show ownership and status wherever a radiologist opens it. Check that findings can be edited, reports can be reviewed and approved reports return to the intended recipients. Keep clinical questions connected to the case.
Review access with your team
Decide who needs access to images, reports and sharing tools. Include support contacts for access problems and a process for unusual cases. A small pilot across the actual locations can show whether the planned workflow is clear.
