Created in 2007, UrgentRad uses advanced technology, medical expertise and experience, and the American College of Radiology guidelines to develop a thorough process for quality patient care. This includes input and feedback from the attending clinician and their staff, as well as the radiologists. The Urgent Rad technology platform was designed to help exchange information and promote communication between doctors. Such information helps tailor the most appropriate imaging study to the clinical scenario, improves the clinical relevance of the radiology report, and ultimately promotes the optimal report – one that is timely, precise, and accurate. In 2016, Shufeldt Consulting sold UrgentRad to Practice Velocity.
