Re: ARDMS Earns ANSI-ISO 17024 AccreditationFrom: Allen Worrall (jworrall@alaska.net)Mon Jun 27 18:24:53 2005
If we are talking about images that are scanned in the US, then transmitted electronically to another Country (lets say India or Pakistan) for interpretation - yes, the clinic or hospital may save some money in the interpretation, compared to what a US radiologist charges. However, I do not think the clinic or hospital would be escaping liability. If an image were incorrectly read by an Indian radiologist, causing harm to a patient, I agree that the Indian radiologist probably would not be sued, since that would be a difficult and expensive (and maybe impossible) thing for the patient, clinic, or hospital to do. But the patient certainly could sue the US clinic or hospital who "negligently and irresponsibly and uncaringly abandoned their responsibility to the patient by sending the images to a completely unknown person in ............" (Just using the kind of language the plaintiff lawyer uses in the complaint. I personally know that many of the radiologists in India and Pakistan are just as good and well trained as those in the US. But the patient's lawyer will try to convince a jury that the foreign radiologist is ignorant, untrained, careless, has no ethics or morals, etc, etc, and therefore the hospital or clinic that selected this totally inadequate individual or radiology group is guilty of the most horrendous malpractice). It might be possible, if a large hospital lost a major amount of money in such a suit, that the hospital might decided to go to the expense and trouble of trying to launch a recovery action by trying to sue the doctor or radiology group in India or Pakistan.

I think you are the first to offer outsourced sonographic interpretations here. While I am not looking for that service, personally, it does peak my interest. How do you see this working in the medical-legal situation in USA medicine? Particularly since obstetric practice is so litigious in the USA. Interesting subject. Anyone have thoughts on this?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
