ImageShare by Intelerad (formerly known as Ambra) is a secure, HIPAA-compliant cloud-based tool that lets patients, referring providers and imaging centers upload diagnostic imaging files quickly and easily. Vanderbilt employees can download images from ImageShare and read them through eStar.
This means referring physicians – or their patients – no longer need to burn images to a CD and mail, ship or carry the CD to Vanderbilt. Our specialists receive images within minutes, sometimes in the course of a real-time patient appointment.
This provides several advantages for referring providers and their patients:
- Faster file sharing means faster decision-making about a patient’s treatment.
- Reduces the need for repetitive imaging tests.
- Avoids the cost, delay and potential damage to files that can occur when shipping CDs.
- ImageShare works seamlessly with Vanderbilt systems, such as eStar and Sectra, avoiding potential incompatibility with CDs.
- Patients may also upload images directly to Vanderbilt.
Users do not need special technology or equipment to use ImageShare; all that’s needed is an internet connection.
Employees can learn more about using ImageShare in our Quick Start Guide and learning module available within the Learning Exchange.
