![]() RELEVANCE ensures that data represents exact cohort specifications, including population diversity. ![]() In short, there are three essential aspects to meeting these stringent standards and achieving “Regulatory-Grade” level. Life Science innovators require very specific, high-quality data that precisely meet rigorous requirements for both critical clinical research and stringently reviewed regulatory submissions. It’s a win-win.” WHAT IS REGULATORY-GRADE IMAGING RWD? We are helping new life science innovation, as well as our local patient population. We wanted to find a way to take advantage of those untapped data insights. “We have 34 years’ worth of clinical studies that sit idle for the most part. This income funds further investment into SDMI’s world-class patient services and is a valuable benefit to the partnership according to Ms. In addition to local patient research inclusion, SDMI generates ongoing licensing income from the de-identified data that is shared specifically for approved Life Science research efforts. Their staff was very knowledgeable, and our team was very happy this was basically a hands-off project,” commented Ms. True to their word, everything was pre-configured upon arrival. “We let OneMedNet know upfront that we had no resources to allocate to the RWD endeavor. Importantly, their IT operational resources (human and financial) have not been burdened at any time during the ongoing partnership. SDMI was able to actualize existing imaging data with near zero strain to their internal systems, personnel, and processes. This was a way to not only benefi t our patients and community, but also to help a much larger population by improving medical device functionality, pharmaceuticals, and AI algorithms through more diverse and extensive clinical research.” WHAT RESOURCE INVESTMENT DID SDMI MAKE? Cosca stated, “ We are locally owned and very committed to our local community. The obvious benefit of inclusion is that these healthcare product innovations are then evaluated, tested, and submitted for regulatory approval using local population data. They wanted their local patients to be anonymously represented in Life Science research. It is this commitment to both their local patients and overall patient care advancement that furthered SDMI’s interest in OneMedNet iRWD. Providing the best care and service to their local patient population is a never-ending goal as superior technologies are adopted and continuing education of staff is mission critical. Approximately, 400,000 clinical studies are managed annually by 550 employees. SDMI has been providing excellent patient care for 34 years across 10 clinical locations (presently) in and around Las Vegas and further expansion is planned. We feel very confident with OneMedNet and have never had any issues with our relationship or technology solutions.” – Angeline Cosca, SDMI Chief Information Officer ![]() “We have been extremely happy the accessibility and involvement of OneMedNet’s leadership. This unceasing satisfaction was one of the drivers for imaging Real World Data (iRWD) partnership consideration. They were an early adopter of OneMedNet’s original BEAM Medical Image Exchange solution and continue benefiting today. Most other exams such as Mammograms, Ultrasounds, MRI’s, CT’s and yes, X-Ray’s can all be scheduled online.Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging Centers (SDMI) has been a OneMedNet partner for 10+ years. Complex exams such as PET Scans and Biopsies still need to be scheduled with a scheduling specialist to ensure extra care is given. Patients should note that not all exams can be scheduled online. To learn more about the process watch the video above. Following the on screen instructions is easy set up an account & verify your identity, select the test you want to schedule, pick a day and time and answer a few questions. The online alternative is initiated once SDMI receives a referral and that triggers a text or email with an invitation to schedule. “The results have been incredible, patients have quickly taken to the online option, and we see the number of appointments scheduled online increase daily." - Rachel Papka, CHIO (Chief Health Informatics Officer Common requests included: the ability to schedule X-Ray’s (previously performed on a walk-in basis), to bypass traditional scheduling which could lead to hold times, and text message alerts that your order is ready to be scheduled. The first in Southern Nevada to offer this scheduling solution came after truly listening to patient feedback. Not only do they consistently install state of the art equipment in their facilities they continually increase the technology solutions available for patients. Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging (SDMI) continues its trend as a technology leader, implementing online scheduling.
