Strategic Radiology® Welcomes Medical Center Radiology Group as Newest Affiliate Member
(PRWEB) December 22, 2015 -- Strategic Radiology (SR) announced today that Medical Center Radiology Group (MCRG) of Orlando, FL has joined forces with the SR coalition of progressive, independent radiology groups geographically dispersed throughout the US. Through this alignment, MCRG will now have access to collective resources in all aspects of radiology practice operations, patient safety, clinical quality, and deployment of subspecialized radiology services. This marks the second Florida based radiology group to join SR, positioning the organization as a key radiology service provider for a significant number of patients and their referring physicians.
“Aligning with the sophisticated, independent groups that comprise Strategic Radiology will enable us to advance our position as the preferred radiology service provider in the greater Orlando area,” said Kathryn Garrett, MD, president of MCRG. “The physicians and staff of MCRG pride themselves in being proactive to ongoing changes in the healthcare landscape, and this move is a perfect example of that innovative, forward thinking mentality.”
“Medical Center Radiology Group’s decision to join SR is additional validation that our organization is viewed as an extremely valuable resource during these challenging times by progressive, independent groups of all sizes,” said Arl Van Moore, Jr, MD, FACR, CEO of SR. “Whether it's cost savings being derived through our group purchasing organization, migrating and integrating with a nationwide quality assurance program, or the sharing of clinical and operational best practices, SR brings value that simply cannot be found anywhere else within this industry.”
Through affiliation with SR, groups like MCRG benefit in many ways, including participation in the SR Patient Safety Organization® (PSO), the Group Purchasing Organization (GPO), SR Subspecialty Teleradiology Partners® (SR-STP®) collaborative national reading pool, and SR® forums, in which they can interact with their peers on both business operations and quality discussions. These products have been proven to bring value back to existing SR member groups that ultimately benefit the patients, physicians, and hospitals that put their trust in them.
