EPP 5<br />
Creating a Diagnostic Services Nexus<br />
to Achieve Scale in Telemedicine for<br />
Eventual International Outsourcing<br />
The Diagnostic Services Nexus (DSN) aims at pursuing international<br />
diagnostic outsourcing opportunities via telemedicine and to<br />
establish a teleradiology hub in Malaysia.<br />
The implementation of the DSN aspires to improve the radiology<br />
reporting services in the country. The public hospitals have been<br />
facing challenges to cope with increasing demand in radiology<br />
diagnostic services<br />
The DSN will coordinate and distribute the increasing workload<br />
through existing resources available within both the public and<br />
private sector.<br />

Achievements<br />
The DSN EPP was announced by the Prime Minister in March 2011,<br />
championed by General Electric (GE) Healthcare. By June 2011, a<br />
new entity, DSN Sdn Bhd was established to facilitate the many<br />
implementation phases of this EPP.<br />
The initial test phase of the project kickstarted in September<br />
2011 with two participating hospitals: Kuala Lumpur Hospital<br />
and Selayang Hospital. Infrastructure and connectivity for both<br />
hospitals were installed in September 2011. The DSN has also<br />
commenced training sessions for hospital personnel, while<br />
successfully undertaking a trial period of transmission of images<br />
and reports.<br />

Moving Forward<br />
The second phase of the EPP is expected to begin in 2012. This<br />
involves the rolling out of the DSN technology to provide services<br />
to private healthcare providers and more public hospitals besides<br />
pursuing the ultimate goal of exporting teleradiology services to<br />
other countries.<br />
Moving forward, the DSN will be focusing on building capacity and<br />
branding of the services by linking radiologists across the country,<br />
thus creating a sizeable pool of expertise to enable the parallel<br />
expansion of the services to the private healthcare providers and<br />
more public facilities in 2012. At the same time DSN will also seek<br />
in-sourcing services from other countries.<br />
