Workflow at Franklin & Seidelmann Subspecialty Radiology |
| After a client completes the Implementation Process F&S follows a workflow process that is very common at most imaging facilities. Our key differential is our ability through our teleradiology platform to distribute images, information and reports quickly and securely between our national network of subspecialty radiologists and our clients. This enables our clients to access the hard-to-find subspecialty expertise no matter what their location is. |
