Cloud-native radiology workflow solutions provider CIVIE has partnered with Prime Healthcare to improve medical imaging operations across eight newly acquired hospitals in Illinois, US.

This collaboration uses CIVIE's RadPod platform to deploy AI-driven radiology operations, aiming to unify and optimise imaging workflows and improve the efficiency of radiologists.

The partnership marks a step for Prime Healthcare in its efforts to integrate and enhance radiology services within its expanded Illinois presence.

By using RadPod, Prime Healthcare seeks to streamline operational performance and deliver patient-centred care.

CIVIE CEO Dhruv Chopra said: “We are excited to partner with Prime Healthcare during this important phase of growth.

“Our platform is purpose-built to reduce friction across radiology networks and enable radiologists to deliver high-quality care at scale. Supporting Prime’s new Illinois sites is a testament to our shared commitment to innovation and excellence in patient outcomes.”

Prime Healthcare recently acquired eight Ascension Illinois hospitals, along with other healthcare facilities.

RadPod's platform will provide the necessary infrastructure to ensure continuity of care and scalability to meet future demands.

Prime Healthcare senior vice-president and regional chief medical officer Sunil Patel said: “We selected RadPod for its proven ability to deliver results in complex radiology ecosystems.

“CIVIE’s technology and service model align well with our goals to enhance imaging access, quality, and operational performance as we grow our presence in Illinois and ultimately improve our patients’ experiences and outcomes.”

RadPod's features, including intelligent case routing, performance dashboards, real-time analytics, and AI integrations, are designed to support radiologists and imaging teams, allowing them to make quicker diagnoses across multiple facilities.
