About Us/Senior Management
Mission
It is our aim to help senior level managers of hospitals, imaging centers and radiology practices maximize profitability of their radiology services and the efficiency of patient care issues. We accomplish this by providing a highly specialized level of management expertise. We also introduce proven business processes and install dedicated systems for monitoring radiology service performance.
MIS was formed with the intent to increase our customers’ autonomy by effectively managing their business concerns and allowing providers (hospitals, imaging centers, and physicians) to better focus on their patients and financial objectives. The professionals at MIS have served as hospital and radiology practice administrators, managers and owners of radiology departments and imaging centers, equipment representatives and entrepreneurs who have succeeded in their own businesses and are eager to assist you with all your radiology matters.
Management Philosophy
The goal at MIS is to bring value to our customers, owners, employees, and vendors. Our style of work is a hands-on attitude where we make every effort to help clients and employees succeed in all their endeavors. We look to build long-term partnerships with clients and employees and establish the proper incentive plans to attain all objectives. We feel we are more special and different than other companies that strictly look to maintain low costs and leverage relationships. Instead, we offer quality solutions to our customers and employees that cover a broad range of issues and solutions based on value and quality, not simply price.
MIS is committed to maintaining the following standards of conduct:
