1) Discuss the key elements of health reform as they impact radiology. 2) Develop strategies to deal with the intended and unintended consequences of health care reform. 3) Describe some of the alternative payment mechanisms that will be competing with fee-for-service, and discuss how radiologists will fit into these new compensation dynamics. (This course is part of the Leadership Track)
This presentation will review the trends impacting our specialty. Declining reimbursement, non-traditional competition, and more aggressive turf incursion will be examined, and strategies will be offered to enable radiologists the opportunity to survive and thrive in a time of change. The talk will cover alternative payment proposals and possible new practice models. Future opportunites will be discussed.
Attendees of this session should have a better understanding of how our specialty will look in the new health care dynamic and what their role will be in this changed environment.
