Abstract
Most hospital-based radiology practices have enjoyed stable long-term relationships with the institutions they serve. Recently, however, an increasing number of hospitals have replaced established radiologists. In some cases, the incoming group provides only a small number of on-site radiologists and uses long-distance teleradiology for the bulk of image interpretations. Such technology, along with changing market forces, places many practices at risk. A number of strategies to maintain and foster long-term service relationships were discussed by the ACR Council and are reviewed herein.
