TL;DR

Iris Scans Diagnostic Centre in Perinthalmanna, Kerala handles complex radiology cases across X-ray, CT, and MRI for demanding referring physicians. Before 5C Network, maintaining consistent quality across complex cases was difficult without dedicated QC infrastructure or specialized radiology support. After partnering with 5C Network, the center gained multi-layer quality assurance, specialized radiologist access for complex studies, and streamlined workflows — establishing the high reporting standards their medical director, Dr. Patel Shreya Dilipbhai, expects for the center's patients.

What quality challenges did Iris Scans face before 5C Network?

Iris Scans handles a diverse caseload including complex multi-modality studies that require specialized radiology expertise. Before 5C Network, the center lacked the structured quality assurance infrastructure needed to maintain consistent standards across all case types — particularly for the complex cases their referring physicians relied on.

  • Complex cases across X-ray, CT, and MRI required access to sub-specialized radiologists that were difficult to source locally in Perinthalmanna
  • No structured quality assurance process existed — report quality depended entirely on individual radiologist availability and expertise
  • Referring physicians had high expectations for report detail and accuracy, particularly for oncology and neurology referrals
  • The center needed a systematic approach to quality rather than relying on ad hoc review of individual cases

How did 5C Network build quality assurance infrastructure for Iris Scans?

5C Network established a comprehensive quality framework for Iris Scans — treating quality as a systems problem, not an individual effort. The approach combined specialized radiologist matching with multi-layer QC processes designed for complex diagnostic environments.

  • Multi-layer QC process with dedicated review stages for complex and critical cases, ensuring accuracy and completeness before delivery
  • Case-matching system that routes complex studies to radiologists with relevant sub-specialty expertise (oncology, neurology, musculoskeletal)
  • Structured feedback loops between the center, reporting radiologists, and QC team — with Dr. Patel receiving regular quality reports
  • Streamlined technical workflows that eliminate manual handoff points, reducing turnaround and maintaining consistency

What results did Iris Scans achieve with 5C Network?

Dimension Before 5C After 5C
Quality Assurance No structured QC process Multi-layer review with dedicated complex case stages
Radiologist Expertise Limited to locally available specialists Access to sub-specialty radiologists nationwide
Reporting Consistency Variable across case types Standardized with structured feedback loops
Technical Workflow Manual handoffs, inconsistent turnaround Streamlined with automated routing
