Healthcare, business and the RADIOLOGIST
  • The system is complex, with many players, each
    with competing motivations and goals.
  • Imaging specifically is a financially significant
    component of the healthcare system, with many
    interested parties.
  • Radiologists are well trained as physicians,
    advisors on imaging, and as interpreters of
    images.
  • But, can you be optimally successful at providing
    patient care and applying imaging skills if you
    do not have a basic knowledge of the system
    around you?
  • Business knowledge should be a fundamental
    component of radiology training, and is key to a
    radiologists success

10
What does the Radiologist need to know?
  • Which practice model should I join?
  • If solo practice
  • Financing office space, staff, and equipment
  • Many payers and types of payments are available,
    which should I accept?
  • Malpractice insurance Which kind and how much?
  • If group/hospital practice
  • Employee or partner
  • Individual practice valuation
  • Will I be exposed if the practice goes under or
    members are involved in payment fraud?

11
Healthcare, business and the radiologist
  • With this knowledge you can
  • Develop skills in strategic planning
  • Become a leader in your practice and in the field

    practice managers, administrators, clients and
    suppliers

    and increasing profits

Summary
  • The healthcare system is complex and expensive,
    and imaging plays a large and expanding role
  • Radiologists are significant stakeholders, and
    are well trained as imagers, but lack the basic
    business skills necessary for navigating the
    complex system
  • There are several resources available to help
    radiologists gain the required knowledge
  • This series is one of those resources, and will
    cover basic business topics essential for the
    radiologist
