Burnout has become commonplace among medical professionals, and radiologists are no exception. http://ow.ly/tezK50ximcq
Burnout has become commonplace among medical professionals and radiologists are no exception. While increasing caseloads are part of the picture, much of the stress physicians experience comes from areas that distract them from patient care − factors such as shifting regulatory requirements, confo...
More than 4 billion people throughout the world lack access to medical imaging http://ow.ly/b9xA50xilUX
What happens when patients who need medical imaging have nowhere to turn? How can they find treatment when the necessary resources aren’t even available?
Vendor relationships can sometimes be mundane and ordinary, the kind that involve minimum communication and a lack of understanding of the visions and goals of each organization.
The connection between Minneapolis-based North Memorial Health and FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc., however, is something else entirely. http://ow.ly/xRLc50xhuN6

Ran Rumianek, Change Healthcare’s executive director of AI and growth, has worked with countless providers and vendors over the years as AI technologies have continued to evolve. http://ow.ly/aAXU50wsBot
Artificial intelligence (AI) is still gaining momentum in 2019 as researchers build bigger and better algorithms and vendors release new, state-of-the-art solutions. For healthcare providers, however, the world of AI can still be intimidating in a lot of ways; if you haven’t already started explor...

Business trends have shifted, new vendors have come and gone, and groundbreaking technologies have evolved so quickly t...
Boone County Health Center in Albion, Nebraska, first opened back in 1950, ensuring that patients from the seven rural counties it serves could receive care without making the long drive to Lincoln or Omaha. One constant in those 69-plus years has been the hospital’s commitment to excellence, making each decision with care and compassion, and the latest example of that philosophy can be seen in its recent installation of Hitachi’s Echelon Oval 1.5T MRI scanner. http://ow.ly/LlbZ50vlKAs

“CME of the Week is the kind of thing people can do in the downtime between cases or on the train into work." http://ow.ly/4qWQ50vfphj
MEDNAX Radiology Education has begun offering radiologists weekly CME sessions that take around 15 minutes to complete and were more than a decade in the making.
For physicians who treat Medicare patients, everything changes next New Year’s Day. http://ow.ly/PAzu50vfp8A
That’s when real consequences begin to befall those who order advanced imaging—CT, MRI or PET scans—without first consulting appropriate use criteria (AUC). They’ll need to show they did so by using a CMS-qualified clinical decision support mechanism (qCDSM).
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of the most hyped advancements in radiology for many years now, sparking vigorous debates about its potential impact on patient care. http://ow.ly/JQZz50vfp1Y

"We're excited to show leaders that we’re one of the most innovative service providers out there when it comes to ." http://ow.ly/Pkjf30mDlFX
Imad Nijim, chief information officer of MEDNAX Radiology Solutions and Virtual Radiologic (vRad), has been in medical imaging and informatics for more than 18 years. He’s seen a lot during that time, but nothing quite as groundbreaking or exciting as the artificial intelligence (AI) currently bei...
"It’s vRad’s deft incorporation of technology to make me a better radiologist while freeing me to be a better husband and father that has emerged as a standout benefit for me." http://ow.ly/QJHQ30mDkmT
As far back as my undergraduate years, I knew I wanted to work in a field that combined medicine with computer science. I actually had a professor who told me that was a silly combination. He said there’d never be a real-world need for it. How wrong he was—and how fortunate I am to now work for ...
"The stress levels might be high, you can feel isolated or restricted and your work list may control everything you do—it’s no wonder burnout is so high in our profession these days." http://ow.ly/6VaC30mDkeZ
I love being a neuroradiologist and helping patients. I’ve always loved it. But there are downsides to the work as well. The stress levels might be high, you can feel isolated or restricted and your work list may control everything you do—it’s no wonder burnout is so high in our profession the...
Something was holding back the physicians, specialists, and staff at Campbell County Memorial Hospital and affiliates: inadequate enterprise imaging solutions. To address this glaring need, Campbell County Health purchased Fujifilm’s Enterprise Imaging solutions in March 2016: Synapse 5 PACS, the company’s latest Radiology PACS solution, Synapse VNA, Synapse RIS, Synapse Cardiovascular PACS, Synapse 3D and Synapse Mobility Enterprise Viewer. http://ow.ly/ykf730maWCZ
Campbell County Memorial Hospital is an acute care hospital in Gillette, Wyoming, and the centerpiece of the Campbell County Health healthcare system. Like Gillette—a city that saw its total population jump by nearly 40 percent from 2000 to 2010—Campbell County Memorial Hospital has seen signifi...
Greg Strowig, vice president of the TeraMedica Division of FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc., spoke with imagingBiz about recent updates to the company’s Synapse VNA, ongoing trends in the enterprise imaging marketplace and much more. http://ow.ly/Rscj30maWaw
Enterprise imaging continues to gain importance in healthcare as technologies evolve and providers grow larger and larger. Mix in the industry’s laser-like focus on such topics as data analytics, security, and interoperability and it’s easy to see why so many organizations are working around the...
When the American College of Radiology (ACR) opened the ACR Education Center in Reston, Virginia, back in 2008, it was with a very specific goal in mind—to provide radiologists with thorough, hands-on training they can then take home and use in their daily practice. http://ow.ly/neqM30maVye

"After a year with vRad, I’ve been shocked at how much better the job has turned out and I can’t see ever going back to a conventional practice. These are four reasons—though I could easily list many more—I’m glad I made the move." http://ow.ly/frf030m5tNk
A little more than a year ago, I left my full partnership position at a successful radiology practice for a teleradiology job with vRad, a MEDNAX company. I was a bit nervous making such a life-changing decision, but I knew I needed a change. Partnership had been a life goal since med school, but no...
If a mad scientist were to meld the mind of a passionate teaching radiologist with that of an especially acquisitive museum curator, the result would surely be someone very much like Benjamin W. Strong, MD. On Oct. 9, he conducts a four-hour review session for radiologists preparing to pass the American Board of Radiology’s Oct. 22-23 certifying exam. http://ow.ly/pgTD30m5t9B

Travis Singleton, senior vice president of marketing and sales for Merritt Hawkins, spoke with imagingBiz about the past, present and future of the radiology job market. http://ow.ly/5S9H30m5sWb
When Merritt Hawkins published its 2018 Review of Physician and Advanced Practitioner Recruiting Incentives, it contained some exciting news for radiologists: after a rough few years earlier this decade, the radiology job market has climbed back with a vengeance.
via Radiology Business: Is reading breast imaging studies from 1 workstation far superior to toggling between 2? Yes, say rads who know both ways. “With greater efficiency comes greater accuracy,” notes Emily Conant, MD, of a solution from Sectra. Get the rest: http://ow.ly/v3Cp30lJfN5
PACS is powering better workflow in breast imaging, transforming the way breast imaging radiologists read studies and interact with one another by improving physician efficiency, accuracy and saving time. Metrics matter in healthcare today and now excellent efficiency, productivity, quality of care....
At a large health system, radiology and cardiology came together over ‘VNAbled’ from Sectra. The IT team saw such consolidation as a way to stamp out siloes and extend image-enabled EMR across the enterprise. Get the rest: http://ow.ly/67RK30lJgvV
Having been in the Sectra PACS fold since 2004, members of the radiology department at six-hospital CoxHealth in Springfield, Mo., didn’t need much convincing to “VNAble” their existing system so it could handle cardiology workflows on top of their own.
IT pros from 3 health systems in Ontario recently talked about their preferences. Commonalities abounded, not least Sectra, yet each had unique reasons, observations and viewpoints to share. Get the insights straight from the sources: http://ow.ly/27Ll30lJeFY
With PACS as with any healthcare-specific technology, some universal expectations are common to all end-users and their IT support teams. Yet there are also as many unique sets of preferences as there are PACS stakeholders.
Wishing you and yours a very happy 4th of July from ImagingBiz!
Joe Schmugge, vRad’s vice president of operations, spoke with imagingBiz about what the company is doing behind the scenes to ensure lightning-fast turnaround times for stroke and trauma patients. http://ow.ly/PF2030kH9Ej
In a California emergency room, a trauma patient in critical condition is wheeled in following a motorcycle accident. In Texas, a patient presenting with stroke-like symptoms is brought into the hospital by frantic family members.
After the publication of two definitive stroke studies in the New England Journal of Medicine show, stroke care in the United States may never be the same. “We have more time to aggressively treat stroke than we thought we had in the past,” says J.P. Dym, MD, director of the stroke imaging program at vRad. “My hope and my expectation is that the tide in the fight against stroke is going to change now.” http://ow.ly/3s4l30kH9c2
Medical historians may one day look back on 2018 as the year having a stroke stopped bringing an inescapably bleak prognosis to victims who went a while before noticing the symptoms.
The stroke center at Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas, is producing outstanding turnaround times. How did they do it? Read on to find out. http://ow.ly/72dz30kH8xe
To meet the latest guidelines on promptness from the American Heart Association (AHA) and American Stroke Association (ASA), providers must image suspected stroke patients within 20 minutes of their arrival. For a brain deprived of oxygen by a blood clot, every second counts.
Find out how 6-hospital CoxHealth got cardiology + radiology together to “VNAble” their , realizing big payoffs along the way. And don’t miss the video at the end! “We’re going to see a big return on investment in reduced storage costs alone.” http://ow.ly/PDyz30kBLy7
Having been in the Sectra PACS fold since 2004, members of the radiology department at six-hospital CoxHealth in Springfield, Mo., didn’t need much convincing to “VNAble” their existing system so it could handle cardiology workflows on top of their own.
