The radiologist shortage is a persistent issue in the healthcare sector, driven primarily by an aging population and limited radiologist residency positions. Research from the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute projects the issue may continue into 2055, warranting technology-based approaches that maintain patient access to diagnostic services. Industry experts note that virtual contrast supervision is emerging as a viable model, ameliorating both operational costs and resource-intensive HR challenges while improving coverage, especially during weekends and holidays.
ContrastConnect notes that virtual contrast supervision was temporarily approved as an extension of “direct supervision,” as defined by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), during the pandemic. However, because it reduces the need for an on-site radiologist, it has since become a reliable approach for meeting growing patient demand - CMS has therefore extended its policy through December 31, 2025, underscoring the effectiveness of the approach. The Radiology Business Management Association (RBMA) has also noted that virtual supervision can lead to faster response times compared to on-site models, and it is particularly useful for outpatient imaging facilities in remote areas, where staffing shortages are often a concern.
ContrastConnect’s platform improves access by offering radiologist-led virtual supervision that adheres strictly to CMS, ACR, ASRT, and HIPAA guidelines, ensuring patient safety while streamlining operational costs for imaging centers. As a full-service virtual contrast supervision provider, the platform eliminates the challenges of working with independent contractors by managing onboarding, payroll, scheduling, and other administrative duties. ContrastConnect will also supply each imaging site with the equipment required for real-time audio and video communication between the patient, technologist, and physician.
Additionally, the company’s technology allows staff members to alert on-call physicians in the event of a patient reaction. Incident reports are submitted through the iPad and are then available on a portal where relevant parties are able to review the course of the reaction.
