Item Details
If your practice is referring out more than 30 patients per month for nuclear cardiology studies to the hospital or another location, you should consider the practical benefits of performing the studies in your office for your patients: GVI can help every step of the way to cost-effectively make nuclear cardiology imaging service in your practice a clinical reality. The only physical requirement is an 8’ x 7’ location for a new dual detector system and hot lab. With our affiliates we reduce the start-up complexity, manage the implementation details and save your valuable time to focus on patient care.
In the current nuclear cardiology reimbursement climate optimizing productivity, workflow and reducing inefficiency are more important than ever. New technology dual detector SPECT systems, like ClearVision™, are cost-effective, highly reliable and image faster with reduced patient radiation dose. Innovative upright (seated) imaging can perform studies on additional patients not possible with older designs, such as claustrophobic and bariatric cases
Many practices have found that by reducing downtime and saving on service expense combined with available Section 179 investment tax credits there are real value savings in upgrading to new SPECT technology. Beginning in 2012 reimbursement by CMS and private insurers mandates accreditation by ICANL or ACR. Upgrading to new technology can insure the equipment in your lab can meet the requirements.
With current reimbursement challenges a practice averaging > 30 SPECT patient studies/month could increase net income by implementing direct SPECT imaging service. Also with your own SPECT equipment you have the potential to increase study volume by providing the service for patients from other physicians in your practice area.
Shared asset imaging with a mobile SPECT camera provides the unique ability to service multiple office locations using one camera and technologist. Mobile SPECT utilization is an extremely cost-effective imaging method versus dedicating fixed site cameras with associated service contracts and CNMTs at individual satellite or outreach office settings.
The GVI mSPECT mobile/portable SPECT imaging system is an ideal, cost-effective solution that can service multiple locations using a single system. This shared asset approach allows large volume practices to leverage a SPECT system and CNMT between satellite or outreach locations and provides smaller volume practices the flexibility to contract for daily service as needed. This ultra compact completely integrated system is moved in one piece, requires minimal floor space and performs SPECT imaging in virtually any office.
