The radiology department will use the digital X-ray machine located in the emergency department during construction, according to a Jan. 16 news release from the hospital.

“We understand this may cause a backlog in services [and] apologize for any inconvenience,” Tracie Soller, director of medical imaging at Memorial Hospital said in the release. “We began our X-ray machine upgrades with the digital room in the emergency department so we had one room that was functional and able to handle the increased volume while the core area equipment in radiology is being replaced.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
