Health systems: Implement a strategic plan to improve your radiology service line

As the healthcare industry transitions to value-based care, hospitals and health systems are facing cost pressure while simultaneously trying to change their strategy and innovate.

These competing challenges cause many provider organizations to allocate technology investments to the areas with the greatest perceived need. This approach can create inefficiencies and result in disconnected systems in an environment that requires integration.

Radiology is one area where many hospital executives struggle to strike the right balance. While the need for imaging technology and radiology services has increased, reimbursements for these services have flattened or declined.

Many hospitals and health systems are using performance improvement tools and applying systems-level analysis to reduce the financial risk associated with radiology services and to enhance the value of these services.  

Learn more about radiology service line improvement during an Oct. 23 webinar sponsored by Philips. During the webinar, Phoenix Children's Hospital Radiologist-in-Chief Richard Towbin, MD, will share how his organization created a master plan to innovate, connect and continuously improve its radiology service line while driving clinical excellence and accelerating care delivery.
