How can you deliver cost efficiency when you don’t know your own true costs?
As the economic downturn takes hold, now more than ever, the importance of correct costing cannot be underestimated. This unique day is designed to enable you to develop a full understanding of your true costs. With less money flowing around the system and further changes taking place to the radiology tariff, this conference will help you face the challenge and ensure you are prepared for the impact of changing income levels on your radiology service.
In only one day you will identify:
- What impact re-bundling of the national tariff will have on your income level
- What the best costing model is for your radiology service
- What can be done to get best value from your resources
- What practical strategies can be put into place to generate new income
Yes! Attend this conference to hear about both the good and bad experiences of other radiology departments. You can then drive forward your processes, prepare for changes to your income and safeguard yourself by having costs that you and your finance department believe in.
National tariff: Radiology friend or foe?
The national tariff has far reaching implications on how trusts value and run services and the unbundling of the tariff will have a huge impact on how your trust views your radiology provision. Are your services a drain on resources or are you helping to provide much needed income to your trust? Will unbundling of the tariff provide added pressure for change? Only at this event will you hear the impact that payment-by-results will have on your income levels and the long term consequences of this on your service.
Gain an insight into what commissioners are looking for from radiology
We all know that reconfiguring your services is the answer, but in what direction should you be focusing? What do the commissioners value and where do they see radiology going in the next few years? This is your opportunity to hear what outcomes the commissioners value most so that you can make informed decisions about your service and where best to deploy your resources.
How can you operate as a business when you don’t know your own true cost?
This essential day will offer you advice on how to measure and use the information by sharing detailed costing methodologies. What is the best cost model for radiology services? How do other radiology services calculate their costs for different tests, and what overheads and resources should go into the cost of a radiology result? Attend to hear the answers to these key questions.
