Abstract:
Interventional radiology (IR) is a unique specialty that incorporates a diverse set of skills ranging from imaging, procedures, consultation, and patient management. Understanding how IR generates value to the healthcare system is important to review from various perspectives. IR specialists need to understand how to meet demands from various stakeholders to expand their practice improving patient care. Thus, this review discusses the domains of value contributed to medical systems and outlines the parameters of success. IR benefits five distinct parties: patients, practitioners, payers, employers, and innovators. Value to patients and providers is delivered through a wide set of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Payers and hospital systems financially benefit from the reduced cost in medical management secondary to fast patient recovery, outpatient procedures, fewer complications, and the prestige of offering diverse expertise for complex patients. Lastly, IR is a field of rapid innovation implementing new procedural technology and techniques. Overall, IR must actively advocate for further growth and influence in the medical field as their value continues to expand in multiple domains. Despite being a nascent specialty, IR has become indispensable to modern medical practice.
摘要:
介入放射学(IR)是一个独特的专业,它包含了从成像,程序,协商,和病人管理。了解IR如何为医疗保健系统产生价值对于从各个角度进行审查非常重要。IR专家需要了解如何满足各种利益相关者的需求,以扩大他们的实践,改善患者护理。因此,这篇综述讨论了医疗系统的价值领域,并概述了成功的参数。IR有益于五个不同的方面:患者,从业者,付款人,雇主,和创新者。通过广泛的诊断和治疗干预措施为患者和提供者提供价值。付款人和医院系统在财务上受益于医疗管理成本的降低,仅次于患者的快速康复,门诊程序,并发症少,以及为复杂患者提供多样化专业知识的声望。最后,IR是实施新程序技术和技术的快速创新领域。总的来说,随着其价值在多个领域的不断扩大,IR必须积极倡导在医学领域的进一步发展和影响力。尽管是一个新生的专业,IR已成为现代医学实践中不可或缺的一部分。
