Presented as part of SPSC42: Controversy Session: Overreading Outside Examinations: Controversies, Benefits and Pitfalls

Participants

Mark E. Schweitzer MD, Presenter: Consultant, MMI Munich Medical International GmbH Data Safety Monitoring Board, Histogenics Corporation

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Review changes in reimbursements for outside readings. 2) Stress concept of value added. 3) Define tertiary care as being an imaging consultant.

ABSTRACT

We will review the current and anticipated changes in funding for imaging. The importance of this trend away from "piece work" will be emphasized. We will define what value added will mean in the future and how we should work to make ourselves needed in the care and more importantly early diagnosis and prevention of disease. We will review the finite resource model of health dollars and the future role of each of us in using these efficiently.
