LOGIN ### Access to the flow The requesting physician signs in to the app to follow critical findings and ordered reports. PUSH ### Immediate critical alert Exam, patient and finding arrive together, with an action to confirm or open the case. VOICE ### Automatic escalation With no confirmation within five minutes, the call reinforces the communication. CASE ### Contextual confirmation Receipt, report and contact with the radiologist stay in the same flow. REPORTS ### Queue with status Critical, ready, read and in-progress items are organized in a single view. AUDIT TRAIL ### Searchable history Confirmed alerts and available reports remain accessible for lookup. AUDIT TRAIL ## The finding scatters. The audit trail gives it back its place. Flag, contact, confirmation, escalation and history stay linked to the same exam. The shift changes, the team changes, the case changes hands: the record of the finding does not come apart along the way. ![CRIT](https://www.laudos.ai/laudos-assets/particles/crit.svg) QUESTIONS How CRIT works day to day Answers based on the flows of the requesting physician's app. The app sends a push with exam, patient and finding, opening the case for confirmation.
