Dear Imaging Leaders Insider,
With so many market forces driving radiologists away from contact with referring physicians, it can be challenging to foster healthy, long-term relationships with the very people who, like it or not, have the power to influence whether a group or practice thrives or fails.
How can radiologists cement these professional relationships? By paying closer attention to how they interact with referring physicians, while at the same time adopting new technologies that help improve the end product -- the radiology report. Click here to find out how to do that in this month's Insider Exclusive. As an Imaging Leaders Insider, you get access to the story before the rest of our readers.
