This will be a panel format that will explore trends coming in several medical imaging modalities, especially those coming within approximately five years. These trends will impact hospitals and other healthcare organizations operationally, clinically, and financially. While five years sounds like a long way away, is it? We will discuss how to know when to start planning for these trends and what are the signs to look for that the predicted trend is on its way to being reality.
Learning Objectives:
What key trends are predicted that are five years away? What are they and what is important to know about them?
What will those trends actually mean for hospitals clinically?
What will those trends mean for hospitals operationally?
What will those trends mean financially?
When do I need to start preparing?
What should I think about in terms of developing steps to become prepared?
How can those preparation steps apply broadly to any other trend that is predicted to shape our healthcare facility?
