Radiology Staffing Crisis – Strategic Solutions from DCCS

Is a Radiologist Staff Shortage Putting Your Hospital at Risk?


A stark scene of an emergency department in divert due to radiology delays.

Hospitals across the country are struggling to recruit hospital-based Radiologists — especially for critical services like Interventional Radiology (IR), ER reads, Fluoroscopy, and Diagnostic Mammography.


The cause of Radiology Staffing Shortages?

A growing gap between fair market value salaries and payer reimbursements.


The Consequences of Radiology Staffing Shortages Are Real:


  • ER diversion and patient transfers

  • Loss of cancer care and women’s imaging patients

  • Increased length of stay & compliance risk

  • Potential Department of Health (DOH) investigations

  • Damaged reputation and lost revenue

DCCS partners with hospitals and radiology practices to:

  • Develop sustainable hospital-based staffing models

  • Conduct Fair Market Value (FMV) assessments

  • Facilitate Professional Service Agreement negotiations
