Valley View Leading the Way for Diagnostic Image Sharing in Colorado Through PocketHealth

Glenwood Springs, CO, Sep 8, 2021 — PocketHealth, developer of healthcare’s most unique digital image sharing technology, announced today that Valley View has broadened its digital healthcare strategy by sharing diagnostic imaging records with patients and physicians through the PocketHealth platform.    

Valley View is an integrated network of physician practices, specialty centers and hospital that offer multi-disciplinary care across the health spectrum, including neurosurgery, comprehensive cancer treatment and interventional cardiology to make it easy for local patients to get the care they need close to home.     

Situated in a world-renowned ski region and recognized healing atmosphere, Valley View attracts recreational as well as destination health visitors. This translates into a significant non-local patient population, and underscores the need  to make health records easily transferable at the completion of care.     

PocketHealth is a diagnostic image sharing platform that gives healthcare providers the ability to share diagnostic images with patients, physicians and other healthcare organizations through an easy-to-use online experience. Deployed at over 500 healthcare facilities ranging from imaging clinics to community hospitals and multi-site health systems, PocketHealth creates an infrastructure that enables healthcare providers to send and receive imaging records without the use of networks or CDs.

“We needed a solution that could meet our clinical and operational standards for patient centered care, and PocketHealth exceeded our expectations,” said Lynn Imel, Director of Imaging at Valley View. “We are not only delivering the highest quality of care to our local community by transferring records to facilities in our network, but we can also give records to patients themselves to ensure continuation of care after visiting our region.”

“Valley View is setting an outstanding example for integrated healthcare communities by prioritizing collaborative partnerships between caregivers and patients,” said Rishi Nayyar, Co-Founder and CEO of PocketHealth. “We applaud their inspiring approach to patient-centered care and are honored to partner with them to support their goals for better outcomes by eliminating CDs.”
