Episode Notes

[measured] Here's a number that should get every imaging administrator's attention: imaging utilization may increase by as much as twenty-six point nine percent through 2055, depending on the imaging modality, while the radiologist workforce is expected to grow by twenty-five point seven percent between 2023 and 2055 if there's no future growth in radiology residency positions. So today we're asking, can virtual supervision actually close that gap for multi-site networks? Have you ever wondered what happens when patient demand outpaces the number of radiologists available to read the scans? [engaged] I'm joined by a guest who spends a lot of time thinking about physician coverage models across imaging networks. Welcome to the show.
