Dr Ed Klaber, GP at Health Plus, said: “Being able to both request and receive results for scans and X-rays electronically is a great step for Primary Care.”
Pictured: Thanks to a new digital system, GPs can now order X-rays and radiology tests for patients electronically.
“This reduces delays in patients having their tests completed and means their GP has the result quicker.
“With speedier access to these investigations your GP can now ensure you are getting the appropriate treatment even sooner.”
The project was coordinated by Jersey’s Digital Health Team, HealthX, who say it is an “important first step” in the modernisation of health care in Jersey.
The testing phase for the new system took place earlier in 2020 before the pandemic, but over the past three months work has accelerated to enable all GPs to process the tests digitally.
