Business Challenge

Industry Background

MediCare Health Network is a large healthcare provider with 8 hospitals, 24 clinics, and over 2,500 healthcare professionals serving a patient population of 1.2 million. As a leading healthcare system, they faced increasing pressure to improve diagnostic accuracy while reducing costs and wait times.

Established in 1978 • 8 Hospitals • 2,500+ Healthcare Professionals

Key Pain Points

Diagnostic Delays

Average wait time of 9 days for radiology results interpretation, creating bottlenecks in patient care pathways.

Diagnostic Accuracy Concerns
