Case Studies

Enterprise Imaging has a new vision for eye care: Utilizing a single platform to streamline image viewing, analysis and storage and linking ophthalmology with other ‘ologies across the healthcare system. That vision is now a clinically proven reality as one platform unites eye care with other imaging exams across a large, U.S.-based healthcare system. Ophthalmologists and optometrists praise the solution for proving its value in eye disease diagnostics, care planning and patient outcomes—and now other healthcare systems can take advantage of it too.

This is the story of how Texas Radiology Associates’ Managing Partner Ted Wen, MD, along with his board devised a plan to utilize expensive, top-tier technologies without having to turn to private equity. In the process, they started Collaborative Imaging—an industry-revolutionizing disruptor that’s helping rad practices across the U.S. to boost efficiency and economics.

Thinking has changed: Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections are a bigger deal than we thought.

Pueblo Radiology was expanding their practice and their client list—but until seeking a partner to manage their billing and revenue cycle, they had trouble collecting the money they were due. Here's how their partnership with Ci changed that, and is helping their finances thrive. 

When you’re a radiologist, your work isn’t just what you do—it’s who you are. The career is all-consuming; if you follow a traditional path in private practice, you simply have to come to terms with the fact that you’ll devote your life to it—and for nine years, I did.

The pandemic delayed breast care for many women. We all know, however, that you can’t put cancer on hold. Combine that with the intensifying shortage of radiologists in this country and we’re seeing more and more patients who desperately need care.

Unrecognized imaging findings are an unfortunate, but undeniable, part of radiology. New advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning offer a critical safety net that is improving care and saving lives — as well as avoiding millions of dollars in potential medical malpractice costs.

This radiology group rebuffed a hostile takeover, doubled in size, and expanded into two new states — all while staying independent.

More than two years after the onset of the pandemic, changes in COVID-related policies and postures — as well as accompanying cultural shifts in the workplace — continue to drive trends in the job market for radiologists.

Burnout is a horrible thing. And while recent research suggests it affects half of all radiologists, women are bearing the brunt – with 56% of female physicians reporting they’re burned out compared to only 41% of their male counterparts.

Medical images have long lived on legacy spinning disk. But healthcare systems are now leaving behind those on-prem, awkward boxes that require too much real estate, IT support and expense. Cloud is the choice to support enterprise imaging. If it feels like healthcare cloud is everywhere, you’re right. And here’s what you need to know to do cloud right.

Today’s most pioneering radiology groups are using artificial intelligence to chase down payments, increase patient satisfaction, relieve front and back office workload, and recoup earned revenues.
