Practice Management

Hello Colleagues,

Our group is in the process of revising our metrics in various areas of the practice and I would like to know what others are doing in this arena.  More specifically, what are you doing to:

1. Measure Physician Productivity and Efficiency?  What dashboard items are you looking at or other measurements?  Per shift or per hour requirements / measurements? Benchmarks?

2. Measuring Quality including group performance – In other words, if you were providing a report to the hospital or to a prospective hospital, what measurements or critical values are you tracking to prove you are doing a great job?  What metrics do you track as part of your hospital agreements now?

3. Any other "analytics" that add value to the efficient management of the practice or for demonstrating value to external stakeholders

If you prefer, please contact me directly at mlangenberg@utrad.com or call me at 865-803-2973. 

Thanks so much!

1. Location - the output differs depending on at which hospital or facility a radiologist is working.  
2. Inpatient vs. outpatient imaging center can also make a difference which is a drill down on the location factor.
3. Shift - even within the same location, output can differ for the same radiologist at the same location but for different shifts (early, late, etc.)  In our practice, some shifts are designate and expected just to hit the list while others may field more of the clinical questions from treating physicians.
4. Sub-Specialty - IR, diagnostic, and mammography RVUs are quite different and do not reflect reality of how hard a radiologist is actually working.
5. Experience - we do find that the younger radiologists are not as efficient as the more seasoned veterans.
