1) Understand the difference between interpretive value and non-interpretive value and the concept of the Total Value Equation. 2) Understand how to illustrate where on the Operations Frontier Curve your practice or department wishes to place itself, and where you think you actually are. 3) Based on the above two objectives, be able to identify potential areas of improvement in your staffing model. (This course is part of the Leadership Track)
The term 'value' is popular in health care, and while universally understood to be critical to success, it is also a concept that is complex and can be challenging to evaluate. This talk analyzes the idea of value and value creation in the radiology department, and uses the Total Value Equation as a framework to deconstruct the activities of the department into interpretive and non-interpretive. By understanding these ideas, the radiology practice leader is better able to manage their resources and maximize their value production.
