Frequent advances in technology, regulatory changes, and reductions in reimbursements can diminish the efficiency and value of your nuclear imaging services. In today’s healthcare market, you need to provide the highest quality at the lowest cost to drive true value for your practice and the patients you serve. The way you have always done things is likely not the optimal way any more.
If you’re looking to get more value from your current equipment, Digirad’s Technology Refresh Program can help you reduce expenses and improve your equipment with no direct expense to your practice.
Here are a few things to consider…
- What do you want to do with your nuclear imaging lab?
- Still trying to image with a single head camera?
- Do you have an older camera, but your volumes are much lower compared to when you first purchased it?
- Do you need new technology but can’t rationalize a purchase given your current volumes?
- Perhaps your camera is great but your operational costs are eating away at profits. Would you like Digirad to repair and maintain your equipment?
- Do you want to keep your current camera but want help to maximize your efficiency and profitability?
Digirad’s efficiency experts can help you maximize your financial returns based on your current clinical needs.
