August 2021: Hospital Mergers and Consolidating/Merging Radiology Practices




Moderators: Jennifer E. Nathan, MD, and Robert S. Pyatt, Jr, MD, FACR
Faculty: Catherine Everett, MD, MBA, FACR, Jenny K. Hoang MBBS and Andy Moriarity, MD


Description: Join our expert panel of faculty, including Drs. Catherine Everett, Jenny Hoang, and Andy Moriarity as they talk about the effects of consolidation on the healthcare marketplace and how local and national factors influence both radiology practice governance and changes in the specialty. Learn about how academic expansion creates challenges for previously small or independent practices, how that affects PACS and other system integrations and the trickle down affect that has on private practices trying to remain integrated. Take notes on how academic centers are successfully integrating different hospitals into the fold, what’s worked and what challenges have been encountered, and how to maintain a community feel despite the physical distance that exists.

Learning Objectives


At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Identify how large academic centers are consolidating hospitals effectively; what works and what challenges to expect, and how to maintain a community atmosphere among the individual hospitals
  • Identify the positive and negative effects on radiology groups of academic systems acquiring community hospitals
  • Describe the positive and negative effects of large systems, not-for-profit and for-profit, acquiring community hospitals
  • Discuss the effects of consolidation on the healthcare marketplace and how local and national factors influence both radiology practice governance and changes in the specialty.
