From the July 2017 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine


HCB News: Has the association teamed with any other associations?
JN: We’ve worked hard to enhance our relationship with the ACR (American College of Radiology), most specifically, through collaboration on regulatory affairs topics. We have realized great traction in this area.

The RBMA (Radiology Business Management Association) is another association that we’re exploring strategies to more closely align with.



Overall, our board is also continuing to assess ways to enhance our overall organizational liaison efforts.

HCB News: How do you feel the imaging management field will change in the next 10 years?
JN: The biggest topic I continue to hear about is AI. I feel that this area will dramatically change the imaging landscape by offering a tremendous amount of data analytics improvements and predictive analytics. It will also help us see things we’ve never seen before and will force many in the imaging and overall health care field to have to be retrained. They will be seeing and assessing images and data in a whole new way. It will be extremely important that imaging administrators and radiologists stay involved and out in front of these new technologists in order to ensure that their own value and expertise (human touch value) are not lost.

Lastly, I feel that successful imaging management in the future will continue to be dependent on the leadership skills of those in the field. We need leaders to drive engagement of staff that will then drive exceptional service levels that will then help drive and ensure value in diagnostic information. Leaders will need to commit to continual learning and wear many hats. Leaders will need to push all of us to innovate and be the best we can be.
