Radiology Service Assessment

Engaging Radiology Consulting Services for Optimal Operational Efficiency

Hospitals and health systems are finding new opportunities to increase radiology service offerings, which can improve throughput and enhance patient care. At the same time, with increasing case complexity and the need for expensive tele-radiology and PACS systems, the Radiology service line may be an area requiring significant direct and indirect financial support.

EHC offers unique, Radiologist-driven expertise to improve your operations or to assist in the creation of new radiology services. These may include expansion of diagnostic or interventional services provided onsite or tele-radiologically. A financial and operational assessment of inpatient radiology services can improve and streamline processes, provide staffing and resource suggestions, and recommend the latest technology resulting in reduced costs associated with imaging services.
