Radiology Advisory & Operational Support
With 56% of radiologists over 55 and nearing retirement, hospitals face shrinking coverage as sub-specialization narrows expertise. Rising imaging demand, combined with higher pay per RVU and fewer providers, drives longer turnaround times and greater reliance on financial subsidies.
Radiology Staffing & Scheduling
Provide staffing alignment assessments to determine whether current staffing matches demand across all shifts. Our review identifies consistent over- or understaffing and evaluates whether extra compensation is being used to cover gaps. This helps organizations optimize labor resources and control costs.
Recruiting and Retention
Develop recruitment and marketing strategies for healthcare organizations, craft a compelling Employee Value Proposition, promote the benefits of your organization to attract top Radiologists, and implement strategies to retain them long-term.
Workflow & Productivity
Design and implement productivity-based compensation models by establishing the required metrics and optimizing workflows, enabling organizations to adopt and sustain productivity-driven operations without compromising quality of care.
Interventional Radiology (IR)
Optimize Interventional Radiology (IR) programs by aligning staffing levels with demand, evaluating team utilization, identifying opportunities for collaboration with other service lines, and ensuring mid-level providers are used to their full potential.
Example of Our Impact :
Creating an Incentive Program for Efficiency & Performance
A Radiologist Incentive Pay Program began as an initiative to cover occasional hours and help reduce backlog. Over a few years, it grew incrementally alongside the expansion of the practice and increasing volume.
Time-Based Work Units can be used in place of wRVUs. These units reflect the average time required to dictate a report, promoting fairness by reducing cherry-picking.
To ensure sustainability, we designed a model that would remain within a $2.0–$2.1 million annual budget. The program was developed using shift-specific thresholds, analyzing daily shift data to maintain fairness and accuracy.
Each month, radiologists receive detailed line-item reports in PDF format, and Payroll was provided with comprehensive monthly summaries for processing.
This program reflected a commitment to efficiency and transparency while rewarding flexibility and performance.
