Yes this will be for all vascular studies.  The doctors and I just feel like the studies being done are not up to par of what they should be.

I hope this proposal will be to perform ALL vascular studies 24/7. I think if you are going to start performing inpatient studies, then you need to be prepared to take call and perform all the vascular studies. It is unfair to "cherry pick" the daytime impatient studies and leave the after hours work for someone else. T, and radiology, may be more amenable if they can see a benefit from somoen coming in and taking revenue from their department.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask a question to everyone out there.  Right now our lab is an outpatient lab.  We are connected to the hospital but only see outpatients.  My medical director would like us to start going over to the hospital and seeing inpatient studies.  Right now the general ultrasound (under the radiology department) handles everything done in the hospital including vascular studies.  A few of them are RVT's however that is not there specialty and our Medical director is not happy with their studies.  I agree with him in that we need to start going over to the hospital and seeing these patient.  I am trying to put a proposal together on why it is important for vascular lab to be present in the hospital performing these specific studies.

Does anyone out there know of any good articles I can reference to help my case?

I always appreciate all the great advice I get on here.

Thanks in advance,
