The takeaway

Listening across the hierarchy is not a soft skill here. A credentialing coordinator often knows where the bottleneck is before leadership does.

The recap

Operational excellence from three different seats

In this Voices of Experience webinar, Dianne Keen is joined by Sherelle Washington, Associate Vice President of Operations at Radiology Partners in Houston; Janinne Walker, Senior Vice President at Radiology Matters, in Washington state; and Kelly Miller, Director of Operations at Springfield Clinic, a multi-specialty group in Illinois. Each of them looks at the same set of pressures from a different seat.

The conversation opens on the national radiologist shortage and what it does to a local market once radiologists can read from anywhere, then works through the operational consequences: how advanced practice provider scope changes from state to state, how a CRM used as a business intelligence tool changes referral decisions, why interventional radiology needs education rather than marketing, and what leaders actually do to hold a team together through it.

In this episode

Four things worth your time

A National Shortage in a Local Market: Why remote reading means a practice competes for radiologists with the entire country, and what that does to compensation and recruiting.
Advanced Practice Providers Are a State Question: How scope rules change what an APP can do in the interventional lab, and why a staffing model that works in one state will not transfer to another.
The CRM as a Business Intelligence Tool: What real-time referral tracking shows leadership rather than just marketing, and how practices use it to change direction while there is still time.
Education, Not Marketing: Why both referring physicians and patients need to be taught what interventional radiology can do, and whose job that is.
