Case Study: The EMRAD Journey with iCode REALM ​

Case Study: The EMRAD Journey with iCode REALM

Background 

The East Midlands Radiology Consortium (EMRAD) is a network aiming to deliver expert radiology services across the region. However, the REALM chairs within EMRAD faced overwhelming workloads, making the management of REALM meetings a significant challenge. From anonymising studies to recording learning points and summarising meetings, the process can be time-consuming. 

The Challenge 

REALM meetings are crucial for continuous learning in radiology, allowing professionals to learn from discrepancies and successes. The manual effort required to manage these meetings was substantial, consuming valuable time and resources that could otherwise be directed towards patient care. 

The iCode REALM Solution 

iCode REALM was introduced as a vendor-neutral solution seamlessly integrated into the PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) environment, designed to facilitate the execution of REALM meetings in accordance with RCR guidelines. 

With iCode REALM, EMRAD experienced a transformation in their workflow: 

  1. Streamlined Automated Workflow: The process of managing and running REALM meetings became more straightforward and efficient. 
  2. Anonymisation of Cases: Patient and physician data were anonymised, maintaining privacy, and focusing on learning from case content, and facilitating discussions around discrepancies in a blame-free environment. 
  3. Time and Resource Efficiency: The automated system reduced the manual effort required, freeing up time for REALM chairs. 
  4. Reduced Workload Challenges: REALM chairs could focus more on their primary responsibilities rather than administrative tasks.
  5. Powerful Meeting Management Tool: iCode REALM provided a robust platform for scheduling, executing, and reviewing meetings.
  6. Analytics and Reporting: The system offered insights into meeting outcomes, helping to enhance quality and processes. 

In conclusion, the implementation of iCode REALM at EMRAD led to a more efficient and effective learning environment, revolutionising radiology practice and raising the bar for patient care and safety.
