22 Where is the Radiology Market Heading? 22

23 [only from] A living library of statistically significant metrics that provide hospitals, radiology groups and health systems with objective comparisons of their imaging use to national averages and relevant peer groups. Derived from normalized, aggregated and anonymized data in vrad s radiology clinical database (25+ million imaging studies from over 2,000 facilities). Three RPC Indices released to date: CT in the ED Accounts for approximately half of all U.S. hospital admissions is a major driver of costs and a focus treat to street operational efficiency. Regional and state-specific metrics For use and effectiveness of CT imaging in EDs nationwide. Day In the Life of Radiology : 24/7 view inside a radiology department, using interactive infographics that show study RVUs* (Relative Value Units, which are a critical measure of an imaging study s economic value), modality mix, patient type and reading location by three distinct radiology shifts. Indices are free and for unrestricted use at 23
