WAYNE, N.J., May 03, 2018 -- At the 2018 Spring Urgent Care Association of America (UCAOA) Convention & Expo, accomplished radiologist Pradeep Albert, MD, DABR, will present his experience and insights for how urgent care centers can utilize imaging services to improve patient care and create new revenue opportunities. The Industry Perspectives session presentation, “Increasing Patient Satisfaction, Throughput, and Revenue with Imaging Services,” sponsored by Konica Minolta Healthcare, will be held on Monday, May 7. Dr. Albert is an academic radiologist in New York, President of the International Society of Regenerative Medicine and an entrepreneur.
“As the US healthcare system continues the transition to value-based care, physicians and administrators are seeking solutions that both enhance clinical care and provide operational efficiencies. Freestanding urgent care centers are one of the fastest growing segments in healthcare delivery and are an increasingly popular alternative to hospitals and emergency rooms for patients,” says Kirsten Doerfert, Sr. Vice President of Marketing, Konica Minolta Healthcare. “Konica Minolta is committed to supporting educational initiatives through the UCAOA to help urgent care centers meet this growing demand for convenient and effective immediate care.”
Dr. Albert will lead an interactive discussion detailing how urgent care centers can utilize diagnostic imaging, such as digital radiography (DR) and ultrasound, and relationships with imaging centers to enhance the quality and efficiency of patient care. He will also share clinical and business strategies based on real-world experiences.
UCAOA represents approximately 27,000 urgent care clinical and business professionals in more than 2,700 centers in the US and abroad. Konica Minolta is a proud supporter of the Industry Perspectives educations sessions and virtual exhibit hall at the 2018 UCAOA Convention & Expo.
