The world of radiology is not what it was 6 years ago. Back then, there were approximately 2,500 imaging centers. Today the numbers have increased to over 6,000. Six years ago, hospitals and radiologists were inquiring about starting an imaging center and asking if an imaging center was right for them. Today, where the industry is more competitive and uncertain from a regulatory, insurance and relationship standpoint, hospitals and radiologists are not asking the same questions. In an environment where more providers are trying to capture a larger piece of the pie for themselves, others are often left on the a sidelines asking, "Where do I go from here? What can I do to improve my lot?"
These are tough questions that most of us weren't even asking a few years ago. But now our concerns are not so much about starting imaging centers as they are about the future direction of radiology. There are also other issues that have impacted the industry and have even changed the way we do business. Specifically, radiologists can no longer ignore a. the increased regulatory burden, b. federal/commercial reimbursement reductions and c. the intense competition from both like providers and non- traditional sources such as private practices.
Who would have thought that the market would become this complex? But it has, and because of the intricate market forces driving radiology, it is important to separate fact from fiction and seek the most professional advice possible.
