Dr Chris Cross
Neuroradiologist at OCSRI
In the heart of Northeast Oklahoma, a comprehensive cancer centre has been quietly revolutionising patient care. Oklahoma Cancer Specialists and Research Institute (OCSRI), a physician-owned oncology network of board-certified medical, gynaecological and radiation oncologists, has emerged as a beacon of hope for cancer patients in the region.
At the core of OCSRI’s technological transformation lies the implementation of GE HealthCare's Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), which has dramatically improved the efficiency and quality of care provided by the institute’s team of healthcare professionals.
Formed in 2016 as a partnership between St. John Health System and Tulsa Cancer Institute, the institute has grown into a formidable force in cancer treatment and research. Today, OCSRI is a community-based oncology practice with 400 staff members, including a combined 40 physicians and allied health professionals, and focuses on providing high-quality, value-based care for Oklahomans.
Dr Chris Cross: From music to medicine
Dr Chris Cross's journey to becoming a neuroradiologist at OCSRI is anything but conventional. “I'm a neuroradiologist at a private physician group called Tulsa Radiology Associates,” he explains. But his path to medicine wasn't always clear. Dr Cross has been in radiology since 2011, accumulating 13 years of experience in the field. However, his expertise extends beyond neuroradiology; he also received training in oncologic imaging, making him a valuable asset to OCSRI’s cancer care approach.
Since joining OCSRI in 2016, Dr. Cross has been at the forefront of implementing new technologies to enhance patient care. His experience with various PACS systems has given him a unique perspective on the benefits of GE Healthcare's True PACS. “What any radiologist wants out of a PACS is for it to not get in their way during their workday.”
