Key Discussion Points:

  • The Last Mile: Why the stage between patient inquiry and scheduling is critical for radiology practices, and how skilled call handling can turn initial interest into completed procedures and sustained growth.
  • Data-Driven Engagement: Using call tracking and performance analytics to identify patient trends, refine marketing strategies, and improve conversion rates across service lines.
  • Specialized Call Teams: The impact of dedicated, clinically knowledgeable, and sales-trained call handlers on building trust, reducing no-shows, and delivering measurable ROI.

“For interventional radiology, the ‘last mile’ of patient decision-making is the most critical point, and investing in skilled call handlers can deliver returns equal to some providers.” – Jessica Walker
