The 35^th Economics of Diagnostic Imaging 2021: National Symposium

For three and half decades, Economics of Diagnostic Imaging has been the premier venue in the US for helping radiologists learn to succeed as the landscape for health care changes. 2020 was an unprecedented year for us and 2021 will see new challenges to our practices and departments. Our reimbursement from CMS was cut at the end of 2020 and while there was some last-minute mitigation that may prove temporary. The full impact of the Federal election of 2020 is still being worked out, but with one party in control of the White House and both the Senate and House of Representatives, significant changes are coming. On the private side, COVID caused a slight lull in the corporatization of radiology but 2021 and 2022 will likely see strong mergers and acquisitions activity in healthcare with further consolidation along the dimensions of hospitals networks, radiology practices and payer entities. In parallel, we are witnessing substantial progress in AI and other technical innovations that will revolutionize health care, with radiology being one of the hot zones for implementation.

This is the premier US meeting for participants to learn from leading experts and from each other about cutting-edge issues that face radiology and more importantly to build solutions that will allow us to succeed in the face of these challenges.
