MedQuest Radiology Management Services

Hospital radiology departments have traditionally been a strong profit center. But over the past several years, a number of factors have dimmed what was once a bright revenue source, including: Enhanced reimbursement pressure Increasing price sensitivity of healthcare consumers Low-cost competitors Authorization hurdles Bundled pricing Rising labor costs These environmental changes make it imperative that hospitals fully optimize their available imaging resources – whether hospital-based or freestanding – in order to overcome the ever-increasing hurdles in this critical service line. Radiology generates high numbers of patient encounters, drives downstream patient care and has a major impact on a hospital’s financial vitality. Many hospitals are seeking the assistance of an experienced partner with tested, radiology-specific best practices, metrics and performance standards, and a strong track record of success in competitive environments.
