Streamlining Connections for Referring Offices

Explore Our Options

Akumin’s interoperability platform provides a user-friendly and EMR-agnostic solution for referring offices to seamlessly connect with our extensive network of diagnostic imaging centers across the nation. This platform enables a two-way process, allowing referring offices to submit orders and clinical information electronically while receiving results in the same manner. What sets our platform apart is that some of our options eliminate the need for managed VPN connections or costly HL7 interfacing. By overcoming the challenges associated with unreliable faxing, our platform enhances efficiency for referring practices and offers additional value-added capabilities.
