Hospital Diagnostic Imaging Management Consultant

Your diagnostic imaging services can be a major cash cow when they are designed right and operated to their fullest potential. Your extremely costly equipment and your highly trained professionals must be managed by a knowledgeable leader who has the finesse to coax top notch performance from everyone & everything.

If you need to renew your legacy Radiology services with integrated:  web-based  Radiology information system,  PACS, Digital dictation with voice recognition,  enterprise level medical record integration , and train your personnel to operate it all - You need expert advice and project management!

That's what I do. I have 36 years Radiology experience. I've worked with 19 hospitals.

I've transformed several Radiology departments that were poor performers into centers of excellence.  One hospital Radiology service went from $17 million in annual billed charges to $53 million in 2 years!  Reimbursement was 190 days when I arrived and became 53 days after 2 years hard work and constant negotiations with 3rd party payers.   The Radiologists authenticated clinical reports turn-around went from 5 days to 4 hours!

Your facility can have a super performing Radiology service. I takes hard work and a willingness to break old, bad habits. It takes change!
