PhyQuest Connexion

Connexion is the name of a risk-reduction system developed by PhyQuest. The system ensures the communication of critical non-emergent radiologyfindings and was first introduced August 20, 2002, with Wellstar Health Systems and Quantum Radiology Northwest at Kennestone Hospital. The reporting system holds a patentat the USPTOoffice.

An example of when the system might be used:

John is diagnosed with bronchitis, however, his doctor is not sure of the diagnosis. John's doctor then sends John to the hospital for an x-ray. A radiologistreads John's x-rayand finds that not only does John have bronchitis, but there is also a suspicious nodulein the x-raythat has the potential to be life-threatening cancer.

The radiologist activates Connexion, which ensures that the exam results (John's cancer) are delivered to the appropriate parties (John and his doctor). Connexion records all actions that are taken in reporting the radiologyexam.
