Kettering struggles with radiology backlog after IT deployment A Midlands regional digital radiology service is being blamed for a massive reporting backlog that has harmed at least one patient.
Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust says thousands of reports has been delayed since a new radiology and PACs system was deployed in June, 2016.
In its board papers, the trust said the backlog in CT and MRI scans had led to 68 cases of potential patient harm. So far, the trust had identified one confirmed case where the delay has caused patient harm. Digital Health
